Filter by:In this study, patients with aged-related hearing loss with depression and without depression were evaluated by audiometry (pure tone audiometry and speech audiometry), cognitive function assessment (MMSE scale for simple mental state test, MoCA Scale for Montreal Cognitive Assessment), and depressive symptoms assessment (GDS-15 and HAMD), resting state EEG. The ananlysis of resting state EEG included power spectral density, traceability analysis, functional connectivity, microstate, clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, characteristic path permeability, and compatibility coefficient. EEG signals were used to explore the activation of brain regions and poor connectivity of brain regions affected by cognitive reserve dissonance on the level of brain imaging. This paper innovatively explores the influence of cognitive reserve dissonance on depressive mood in senile deafness by means of audiological assessment, cognitive function assessment, depression symptom assessment, resting state electroencephalography (EEG) and other technical means. Auditory and cognitive cortical activation, functional connectivity of brain regions, small-world attributes and microstates were analyzed in senile deafness with or without depression at the brain imaging level.
The participants were recruited from elderly subjects in the age range of 60-85 years and audiological assessments, cognitive function assessments, non-invasive brain imaging, behavioral assessments were collected from the normal control group, the elderly deaf non-hearing group and the elderly deaf hearing group according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The project aims to investigate the differences in auditory speech and cognitive function in age-related deafness at the behavioural level, and to investigate the central cortical metabolic mechanisms in age-related deafness at the brain imaging level.
Presbycusis could be associated to increased risk to fall. There is little about the impact on postural balance of hearing aids. In this study, the investigators describe the postural balance evolution before and after hearing aid fitting in presbycusis-affected adults (55-80years old) consulting Angers University Hospital ENT department and ENT Medical Doctor of Le Mans .
Background: Deafness is one of the nine potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia simulated by the Lancet dementia Prevention, intervention and Care Committee in 2017. Some studies have found that the risk factors of dementia in deafness system, with the increase of the degree of deafness, the risk of cognitive decline increases, while after long-term wear of hearing aids, the deterioration of immediate and delayed memory is less, and the possibility of cognitive decline slows down. Therefore, it is necessary for us to improve the auditory ability of patients with deafness through auditory intervention, so as to slow down its effect on dementia and reduce the incidence of dementia. At present, auditory intervention methods include hearing aid wearing and cochlear implant. However, there are few studies on cognitive function of presbycusis patients in China, and there is no research on how many years of auditory intervention can effectively slow down the incidence of dementia in presbycusis patients with MCI. Therefore, we intend to conduct a prospective cohort study on the changes of cognitive function of presbycusis under hearing aid intervention.
The proposed study is designed to evaluate the effect of at-home executive function training on cognition and mobility in older adults with age-related hearing loss (ARHL), older adults with normal hearing, and middle-aged adults.
This study aimed to examine the effects of single and dual-task training on physical function, cognitive function, quality of life, balance, concerns about falling, and activities of daily living in the elderly with age-related hearing loss. The elderly who were diagnosed with age-related hearing loss in Pamukkale University Health, Practice and Research Center, Department of Otorhinolaryngology participated in the study. The elderly were allocated a single-task training group, dual-task training group, and control group. Thirteen patients in the single-task training group, 15 patients in the dual-task training group, 14 patients in the control group completed the study. Degrees of hearing loss were determined by pure tone audiometry. Evaluations, Senior Fitness Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, World Health Organization- Quality of Life- Old Module, Berg Balance Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale International, Functional Independence Measure, Dual Task Questionnaire, Dual Task Effect, were performed initially, after the interventions and at the 6th month. The interventions were carried out two days a week and 40 minutes, for five weeks.
The objective of this study is to examine the effects and safety of Liuwei Dihuang pill and placebo in presbycusis with Shen (kidney)-yin deficiency.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a multicomponent hearing care intervention for the PACE staff members in order to learn more about communication and engagement.
Hearing loss is a critical health concern in the rapidly aging population, affecting approximately 22 million older individuals in the United States. Yet, only 30% of individuals who would benefit from the use of hearing aids regularly use them. This project aims to improve the benefit of hearing aids for older adults through incorporation of objective neural measures to assess effects of hearing aid algorithms.
One in six people in the United Kingdom and over 400 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss. This figure will double by 2050 as predicted by the World Health Organisation. There is an urgent need to improve our knowledge regarding hearing loss, its underlying mechanisms, optimal diagnostic modalities, reliable and accurate functional and imaging biomarkers. A less-well studied condition associated with progressive hearing loss is infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS). It results from iron deposition along the surfaces of brain structures which control hearing and balance. It is currently considered uncommon, but may well be under-recognised and therefore under-reported. Despite its severity, our current understanding of its impact on the hearing (auditory) and balance (vestibular) functions is limited, and this has an adverse impact on the treatment offered to these patients. Additionally, iSS patients have been reported to have cognitive impairment yet literature reports of cognitive assessment in iSS are few. The cognitive dysfunction may be specific to iSS or due to progressive hearing impairment or a combination of both, and further studies are required to establish this. Olfaction is also known to be affected in patients with iSS yet is rarely reported in the literature. Due to the significant morbidity and progressive nature, there is a clear need to improve our understanding of the audiovestibular dysfunction resulting from iSS. The aim of this study is to comprehensively assess audiovestibular function in iSS compared to age-related hearing loss and the controls/normative data and as a means to quantify deficits for monitoring disease progression and response to treatment, to assess the impact on the quality of life, to analyse clinically-obtained data (including imaging, cognitive and laboratory data), and correlate these with functional findings in iSS.
