The risk of cognitive impairment associated with hearing function in older adults: a pooled analysis of data from eleven studies

Abstract Impaired hearing and cognition are disabling conditions among older adults. Research has presented inconsistent conclusions regarding hearing impairment posing a risk for cognitive impairment. We aimed to assess this from published evidence via searching PubMed and Embase, from the inceptio...
