Bright T, Ramke J, Zhang JH et al. Prevalence and impact of combined vision and hearing (dual sensory) impairment: A scoping review. PLOS Global Public Health. May 2023

Hearing and vision impairments are common globally. They are often considered separately in research, and in planning and delivering services. However, they can occur concurrently, termed dual sensory impairment (DSI). The aim of this scoping review was to determine the nature and extent of the evidence on prevalence and impact of DSI.
