Relevant Audiology Studies
The Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE) Study. Frank. R Lin et al. 2023.
ACHIEVE is large research project looking at whether treating hearing loss in older adults can reduce cognitive decline. There were almost 1000 participants, all with untreated hearing loss. Participants were separated into two groups. The first group received hearing intervention (i.e. hearing aids). The second group received health education sessions where they learnt about a variety of health topic areas relevant to older adults, and how to actively ‘take charge’ of their health.
They were reviewed over a three year period and the results showed:
- In older adults at increased risk for cognitive decline, hearing intervention slowed down the loss of memory and thinking abilities by 48% over a 3 year period.
- Participants who received hearing intervention had no decline in memory over the 3 year period, compared to a decrease in memory in those who did not receive hearing intervention
Researchers will continue to follow the participants’ progress to look at longer term effects of hearing intervention on cognition and other outcomes. This study really highlights the importance of treating hearing loss in order to maintain cognitive function and overall well-being.
The Need for Improved Detection and Management of Adult-Onset Hearing Loss in Australia. McMahon CM, Gopinath B, Schneider J, et al. International Journal of Otolaryngology. 2013;2013:308509.
This study explores the role of GPs in detecting and managing hearing loss. It outlines that there are two key areas not adequately met in the Australian healthcare system: (1) the early identification of individuals with chronic hearing loss; and (2) appropriate and targeted referral of these individuals to hearing healthcare providers. It also contains interesting data on the effect GPs can have on successful hearing aid use.
