Abstract
Hearing loss is a primary factor that increases the risk of dementia. As hearing loss worsens, the risk of dementia in older adult increases with the rate of cognitive decline correlated positively with the increased severity of the hearing loss. The provision of hearing aids, we conjecture could decrease cognitive decline in older adults with untreated hearing loss. This hypothesis was tested in three groups of listeners (i.e., hearing loss/no dementia, hearing loss/diagnosed with dementia, hearing loss/diagnosed with dementia and previously fit with hearing aids) fit with contemporary hearing aids. In this presentation, results from our undertaking highlight cognitive and audiometric results over a six-month span foreach of the three groups. Findings and future implications are discussed.Biography
