Abstract
Research investigating the complex interplay of cognitive mechanisms involved in speech listening for people with hearing loss has been gaining prominence. In particular, linguistic context allows the use of several cognitive mechanisms that are not well distinguished in hearing science, namely those relating to ‘postdiction’, ‘integration’, and ‘prediction’. We offer the perspective that an unaccounted impact of post-lingual acquired hearing loss is the differential use of predictive mechanisms relative to age-matched individuals with normal hearing. As evidence, we first review how degraded auditory input leads to reduced prediction in people with normal hearing, then consider the literature exploring context use in people with acquired post-lingual hearing loss. We argue that no research on hearing loss has directly addressed prediction. Since current interventions for hearing do not fully alleviate difficulty in conversation, and avoidance of spoken social interaction may be a mediator between hearing loss and cognitive decline, this perspective could lead to greater understanding of the additional complex cognitive effects of hearing loss and provide insight regarding new targets for intervention.
