Dementia and hearing-aid use: a two-way street (2022)
Journal Article
Naylor, G., Dillard, L., Orrell, M., Stephan, B. C. M., Zobay, O., & Saunders, G. H. (2022). Dementia and hearing-aid use: a two-way street. Age and Ageing, 51(12), Article afac266. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afac266

Objectives
Hearing-aid use may reduce risk of dementia, but cognitive impairment makes use more challenging. An observed association between reduced hearing-aid use and incident dementia could reflect either or both of these causal paths. The object...
