‘Convincing Evidence’ Hearing Aids Reduce Dementia Risk
Hearing aids significantly reduce the risk for cognitive decline and dementia and even improve short-term cognitive function in individuals with hearing loss, a new study suggests.
The use of hearing restorative devices was associated with a 19% reduction in cognitive decline. The data suggest that the protective benefits accrue over time and that even those with some dementia when they begin wearing hearing aids see improvement.
The large meta-analysis pools data from smaller studies and provides what outside experts call “convincing evidence” that using hearing restorative devices could help prevent dementia.
“Encouragingly, even patients who already started with mild cognitive impairment, or early dementia, in our pooled analysis also benefited from the use of hearing aids, as they also had approximately 20% lower risk of progressing to dementia,” Benjamin Tan, MBBS (Hons), Dean’s Fellow at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, told Medscape Medical News. “This means that it is never too late to start using hearing aids, but early treatment may help to preserve the most cognition.”
The findings were published online today in JAMA Neurology.
