Extract

This narrative review of hearing, cognitive impairment and aging considers studies reported in English that have used objective assessment or manipulation of hearing and cognitive performance in participants aged 50 years and above. Its purpose is to provide a general overview of an increasingly technical literature. The lower age limit is arbitrary. For the present purpose, hearing is defined as the detection and interpretation of auditory stimuli, and cognitive impairment is defined as implicit or explicit decline in cognitive function. Existing general overviews of the area are not current, whilst more recent reviews tend to be fairly specialist in scope.
