New hearing aid wearers assessed after 18 months
Researchers studied first-time hearing aid users aged 62–82, assessing them before they were fitted with hearing aids and again after 18 months of use. The study focused on various factors during each period, including hearing, cognitive function, speech perception, quality of life, physical activity, loneliness, isolation, mood, and overall medical health.
Participants’ “speech perception in quiet, self-reported listening disability, and quality of life had significantly improved.”
When it came to the cognitive tests administered, the group mean scores showed “no significant decline.”
Participants’ executive function—or skills used to accomplish everyday tasks such as solving problems, managing emotions, and making plans—“significantly improved.”
