“…Earwax build-up occurs in anyone but often in older people and those using hearing aids or earbud earphones. Up to 44% of care home residents with dementia also have impacted earwax 2 and about 2.3 million people/year in the UK have troublesome earwax requiring removal. 3 Studies investigating earwax removal methods report how much of the tympanic membrane is visualised before and after treatment, but this does not capture the impact of the symptoms.…”

“…Out of the seven papers, 1 was a quasi-experimental study, and two were based on qualitative studies consisting of literature reviews, interviews, and surveys; 1 was a mixed-method study including both a focus group and systematic review; 2 were randomized controlled trials. Three of these studies were conducted in Canada [177], in the United Kingdom [183], 2 in Canada [177,179], 1 in Australia [178], and 1 in the United States of America [184]. The number of participants in these studies ranged from n= 19 to n=17,263.…”

In the current era, the population is getting old at a fast speed. According to the World Health Organization, the share of the population aged 65 and over has increased from 6 percent in 1990 to 9 percent in 2019. According to projections, the proportion of people over 65 years of age will increase to 16 percent by 2050, making one in six people worldwide senior citizens. Based on WHO data, these numbers were compiled. Within a few years, this number will double, resulting in a massive increase in the amount of elderly. With an increasing population of elderly people, society is more likely to need to provide care for them. In order for them to stay in nursing homes for the rest of their lives, they will have to spend a lot of money. Can fitness be a part of a healthy lifestyle if people start doing it when they are adults or even when they are getting older and older? It occurs to us that this may be of assistance to them. Using a survey of research, we will examine what researchers recommend for elderly exercise groups. The PRISMA format was followed initially, where some specific topics were selected, and based on some limitations on results and demographics of articles, the number of papers was narrowed down, which will be discussed in the methodology section.

“…Further, a systematic narrative review of hearing rehabilitation for RwD found no full-scale RCTs and a lack of definitive trials of multicomponent interventions [32]. Thus, the RCT described here will address two key gaps: (1) the insufficient provision of sensory healthcare for RwD in LTC facilities; and (2) the limited evidence for how best to provide such sensory healthcare.…”

Background Hearing and vision loss is highly prevalent in residents with dementia (RwD) living in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Sensory loss often has a negative impact on quality of life and other dementia-related outcomes. Optimising sensory function may improve dementia-related outcomes in LTC facilities. The SENSE-Cog Residential Care pilot trial will evaluate whether a multi-faceted hearing and vision intervention for RwD and concurrent sensory loss is suitable for definitive testing in a large-scale cluster randomised control trial (RCT) in Ireland, and how this can best be achieved. Methods This is a six-month feasibility-pilot observer-blind, multicentre, cluster RCT. Between eight and 15 LTC facilities (with an average of 5 RwD recruited per home) will be randomly assigned to receive either "care as usual" (CAU) or a multi-component sensory intervention comprising: (1) personalised resident hearing and vision support; (2) staff training in sensory health; (3) fostering a 'sensory 'friendly' environment; and (4) optimising care pathways to hearing/vision care providers. The intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and tolerability for residents and staff will be examined. In addition, a battery of exploratory outcome measures will be evaluated for suitability for the definitive trial and to inform the choice of primary and secondary outcome measures. Discussion If the SENSE-Cog Residential Care pilot trial demonstrates that the sensory support intervention for residential care is feasible and tolerated in LTC facilities in Ireland, we will conduct a larger definitive trial to evaluate its effectiveness in improving dementia-related outcomes. Training materials, resources, and information will be made available to health and social care providers to enable the implementation of sensory support for RwD in routine LTC, potentially improving the quality of such care in Ireland.
