The review of literature considers the correlation between hearing loss and dementia. Hearing loss is one of the few potentially modifiable factors in terms of dementia prevention, and the research highlighted in this article confirms the need to continue studying this correlation to better understand the benefits of treating hearing loss in order to improve cognitive function. It should be kept in mind that hearing loss also has social consequences in the form of reduced daily activity, communication function, isolation, loss of independence, impaired ability to drive vehicles, and this once again confirms the importance of timely treatment of hearing loss. This article also addresses the problem of late diagnosis, lack of treatment and rehabilitation of hearing loss in elderly people.
文献综述探讨了听力损失与痴呆症之间的相关性。听力损失是痴呆症预防方面少数几个可能可改变的因素之一，本文所强调的研究证实有必要继续研究这种相关性，以便更好地了解治疗听力损失对改善认知功能的益处。应当记住，听力损失还会产生社会影响，表现为日常活动减少、沟通功能下降、孤立、失去独立性、驾驶能力受损等，这再次证实了及时治疗听力损失的重要性。本文还讨论了老年人听力损失诊断延迟、缺乏治疗和康复的问题。
