Life-space mobility describes the size of the spatial area where a person moves as well as the frequency of travels in that area. Life-space mobility reflects the balance between individual resources and environmental challenges in person\u2019s daily life in the real world situation. This study is based on the assumption that changes in hearing and cognition in aging and\/or a noisy environment can cause deprivation of environmental information for the person, which in turn can be expressed in uncertainty and poorer functioning in mobility tasks. Better understanding the challenges a hearing impaired person has to face in everyday life, and understanding the consequences of poor hearing for the mobility are needed in order to promote the older person\u00b4s equal opportunities to participate actively in the society.<\/p><p><b>Research leader:<\/b><\/p><p>Anne Viljanen, PhD, Post doc \u2013researcher<\/p><p>Gerontology Research Center and Department of Health Sciences<\/p><p>University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4<\/p><p>anne.viljanen@jyu.fi<\/p><p>tel:+358-40-8053603<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gerec.fi\/\"  target=\"_blank\">www.gerec.fi<\/a><\/p><p><b>Research partners are:<\/b><\/p><p>Daniel A.
