Strong Interrelationship Between Hearing and Cognition
- Increasing evidence has linked age-related hearing loss to more rapid progression of cognitive decline and incidental dementia.1
- Long-term hearing deprivation of auditory inputs can impact cognitive performance by decreasing the quality of communication leading to social isolation and depression and facilitate dementia.2
- Limited cognitive skills from aging may reduce the cognitive resources available for understanding speech, especially in background noise.3
