One big challenge is that many people are simply not being identified with the condition and so miss out on information and support.<\/p>\n<p>Most people with DSI will have deafness from presbyacusis, commonly sensorineural, coupled with an eye condition, commonly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/Cataracts-age-related\/Pages\/Introduction.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cataracts<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/age-related-macular-degeneration-amd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">age related macular degeneration (AMD)<\/a>. Sensorineural deafness and AMD are incurable conditions but the impact on daily life can be significantly lowered by early identification, support and training &#8211; a requirement of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ageuk.org.uk\/home-and-care\/the-care-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Care Act 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even low levels of DSI can cause significant health, wellbeing and mental health problems. Department of Health and Social Care (2009) lists impacts of DSI on 75+ year olds such as: 3 times more likely to have a fall; 2.7 times more likely to have depression. By far the biggest impact is social isolation. Without the right support, DSI greatly reduces our ability to stay in touch with others, to get out and about, to enjoy living.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-77biv2-e6cf040bc921b656aa7ad59d1d7530dc\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-77biv2-e6cf040bc921b656aa7ad59d1d7530dc{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-77biv2-e6cf040bc921b656aa7ad59d1d7530dc hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-70fzli-c59c3465a2ac7d469ea2fc13ba0ef119-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '><a href=\"https:\/\/hi-visuklearning.org\/\" class=\"avia-button av-70fzli-c59c3465a2ac7d469ea2fc13ba0ef119 avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-left av-icon-on-hover avia-color-dark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8c9' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Learn about DSI - try our unique and free online awareness course!
