“The main takeaway from this [JAMA study about the impact of hearing aids and CIs on dementia] is that number one, hearing has a direct impact on cognitive health.

Cognitive training may reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults. Johns Hopkins and UCSF researchers conducted a scoping review of the literature on this subject and found more than half the trials (58%) systematically excluded participants with hearing/vision impairment, and only 16% reported hearing/vision measurement. This raises concerns about if these trial findings apply to those with hearing/vision impairment and can be generalized to the broader population of older adults.
