The ACHIEVE study will be a randomized controlled trial nested within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. 850 70-84 year-old cognitively normal older adults with hearing loss will be randomized 1:1 to the hearing intervention (hearing needs assessment, fitting of hearing devices, education/counseling) or successful aging intervention (individual sessions with a health educator covering healthy aging topics). Post baseline, participants will be followed semi-annually for 3 years. Outcomes will include assessments of cognition, social functioning, physical functioning, and quality of life.
