Impact of hearing aid use on cognitive skills and verbal fluency in patients with presbycusis.
Background: Hearing aids are used to mitigate the adverse effects of hearing loss.
Aims: To investigate the relationship between hearing ability, cognitive skills, and verbal fluency before and after hearing aid use in individuals with presbycusis, and to understand the effect of unilateral or bilateral hearing aid use on these possible changes.
Methods: A total of 39 patients with presbycusis were included in the study. Patients who benefited from unilateral or bilateral hearing aids were assigned to Groups 1 and 2, respectively. All patients underwent one cognitive test (standardized mini-mental state examination [SMMSE]) and two separate verbal fluency tests (phonemic fluency test [PFT] and semantic fluency test [SFT]), both before and after at least 6 months of hearing aid use. SMMSE, PFT, and SFT scores before and after device use and the intergroup percentage change in these scores were compared.
Results: Groups 1 and 2 showed significantly higher SMMSE and PFT scores after hearing aid use compared to those before (p < 0.05). No intergroup differences were found when comparing the percentage change in SMMSE and PFT scores (p > 0.05). There was a significant improvement in cognitive and verbal fluency tests after hearing aid use compared to before. However, the use of unilateral or bilateral devices did not influence this improvement.
Conclusions: This study is the first prospective study in the literature to investigate the effect of unilateral and bilateral hearing aid use on cognitive and verbal fluency tests in patients with presbycusis.
期刊介绍：
The Irish Journal of Medical Science is the official organ of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. Established in 1832, this quarterly journal is a contribution to medical science and an ideal forum for the younger medical/scientific professional to enter world literature and an ideal launching platform now, as in the past, for many a young research worker.
The primary role of both the Academy and IJMS is that of providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information and to promote academic discussion, so essential to scientific progress.
