Hearing Aids Might Curb Dementia Risk Associated With Hearing Loss

Addressing hearing loss early on with hearing aids might lessen the condition’s association with dementia risk, according to a new analysis published in JAMA Neurology. Starting with a subset of almost 3000 participants tested for hearing loss at age 60 years or older, the researchers tracked how hearing aid use might have shaped all-cause incident dementia rates for up to 20 years.
