Cognitive testing was performed on 1,984 older adults at five, eight, ten and eleven years. A total of 1,162 individuals with baseline hearing loss had 41% and 32% greater scores on 3MS and Digit Symbol substitution Tests respectively compared to those with normal hearing.
The conclusion, those with hearing loss had a 24% increased risk for cognitive impairment.
