“…The recent conclusions by Inserm Bordeaux (January 2018) on the follow-up of the Paquid cohort merit reiterating here: 3777 participants over the age of 65, over 25 years. They confirm the direct link between the hearing profile of the patients included and the risk of invalidity, dementia and depression (17). Another recent publication of the Journal of European Psychiatric Association concluded that Tomatis training significantly improved subjects' cognitive functioning.…”

Objectives To determine the quantitative effects of an Tomatis auditory stimulation method using of clinical measures of hearing and cognitive P300 evoked potentials. Method Seventeen patients were included in this study. Nine patients received 100 non-consecutive hours of auditory stimulation, in the form of a personalized program. Eight control subjects did not receive any auditory stimulation. The patients were subjected to a listening test and cognitive auditory MMN (Mismatch Negativity) and P300 evoked potentials test before and after stimulation. The control group was subjected to two distant listening tests (without any interim auditory stimulation). The average time between the two tests was quite similar to that of the patient group. The clinical effects of this form of auditory stimulation were ascertained on the basis of a multiple-choice questionnaire.

“…Interestingly, in a subsequent study conducted within the same population-based cohort (i.e., PAQUID study), these results were replicated on the risk of developing dementia [30]. Adjusting for age, gender and educational level, an increased risk of developing dementia was found for participants reporting hearing loss compared to participants reporting normal hearing.…”

“…Although still limited in number, these studies report consistent results, supporting the hypothesis of an increased risk of dementia which remains significant even after statistically accounting for potential confounders such as demographic and/or cardiovascular factors. Such results have been gathered from studies considering hearing loss either with audiometric measures [15,27,28], speech recognition tests [29], or indirect/self-reported measures [30][31][32]. Although most of the studies considered peripheral hearing loss, the link between age-related central auditory processing disorder [33] and cognitive decline and/or dementia has also been reported by two longitudinal studies [34,35].…”

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent health condition in older age. In recent years, research has consistently reported an association between hearing loss and mental health outcomes, including poorer cognitive performances. Whether treating hearing loss in elders improves cognition has been directly or indirectly addressed by several studies. This review aims at providing a synthesis of those results. Regarding the literature on hearing aids' use and cognition, although the lack of interventional studies has to be underlined, observational data suggest that hearing aids positively impact long-term cognition, even though more research is necessary to ascertain this statement and provide information on the length or frequency of use required in order to observe benefits. Regarding cochlear implants in elders experiencing more severe auditory deprivation, the literature is scarcer. The available studies have many limitations and do not allow the drawing of clear conclusions. Taken together, the results are encouraging. Nevertheless, because hearing loss is suspected to account for 9% of dementia cases, and also because hearing loss is one of the few potentially modifiable factors from a dementia prevention perspective, the need to stimulate research to have clearer knowledge of the benefits of treating hearing loss on cognitive outcomes is urgent.

“…Studying the association between hearing impairment and depression may therefore have major clinical and public health implications, especially when considering that hearing impairment is a modifiable condition in most cases. The few existing prospective studies on hearing impairment and depression mostly used self-reported status of hearing impairment (15)(16)(17), were of relatively small size (n<900) (16,17), and have so far provided mixed results (15)(16)(17)(18).…”

Objective: the aim was to investigate the potential association between hearing impairment and incident depressive symptoms. Methods: using a prospective community-based cohort study in France (the Paris Prospective Study III), participants aged 50-75 years were recruited between 2008 and 2012 and thereafter followed up every two years up to 2018. Hearing impairment, measured at study recruitment by audiometry testing, was defined as a pure tone average greater than 25 decibels in the better ear. Incident depressive symptoms, measured using the validated 13-item Questionnaire of Depression 2 nd version, was assessed during follow-up. Multivariate generalized estimating equations were used to compute odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: among 7591 participants free of depressive symptoms at baseline (mean age 59.8 years, 63% of men), 14.3% had hearing impairment. Over six years of follow-up, 479 subjects (6.3%) had incident depressive symptoms. The OR for incident depressive symptoms was 1.36 for subjects with baseline hearing impairment (95% CI 1.06 to 1.73). A pooled analysis of four published prospective studies yielded a multivariable relative risk of baseline hearing impairment for incident depressive symptoms of 1.29 (95%CI 1.09 to 1.53). Conclusions: in this community-based prospective cohort study of participants aged 50 to 75, baseline hearing impairment was associated with a 36% increased odd of incident depressive symptoms.

Death, Depression, Disability, and Dementia Associated With Self-reported Hearing Problems: A 25-Year Study

Abstract: Our study confirms the strong link between hearing status and the risk of disability, dementia, and depression. These results highlight the importance of assessing the consequences of treating hearing loss in elders in further studies.
