This article compares the findings of a study investigating the social and psychological impact of hearing impairment in London’s elderly between 1978 and 1980 and the preliminary results of a similar study conducted in Wales in 1989. The respondents were elderly people over 70 years of age and used a pure-tone audiometer to measure hearing in both ears (250 to 4 000 Hz). According to the CARE process, screening is performed to determine the level of dementia and depression, and three life-related questions are asked: General health status and the application of primary and secondary health benefits; Loneliness and experience with family and friends; Hearing Loss experience. Comparing the two survey results in London and Wales, there was no significant difference in age and gender. Welsh Widowed
