Hearing Loss and Cognitive Decline in the Elderly Population: Assessing the Benefits of Early Intervention with Hearing Aids
Received Date: Oct 30, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
Hearing loss is a common condition affecting the elderly population and is associated with a range of negative outcomes, including cognitive decline, social isolation, and decreased quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between hearing loss and cognitive decline, with untreated hearing loss potentially accelerating cognitive deterioration. Early intervention with hearing aids has shown promise in mitigating the adverse effects of hearing loss on cognition. This paper aims to explore the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive decline in the elderly, review the benefits of early intervention with hearing aids, and discuss the implications for clinical practice and public health policy
