Abstract:
Peripheral hearing loss is quite prevalent in senior population, while Alzheimer′s disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disease. Evidence showed that peripheral hearing loss is an independent risk factor of AD. The hypotheses regarding the mechanism of their relationship include cognitive reserve, social isolation and common etiology. Intervention of peripheral hearing loss attenuates the cognitive decline of senior population, and improves emotional and behavioral symptoms of AD patients.
