“…To further support the notion that treating hearing loss may improve cognitive function in patients with age-related hearing loss, Gao et al [36 ▪ ] examined the impact of middle ear surgery and the resulting improvement in conductive hearing on Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Glasgow Benefit Inventory scores, which were administered preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. They found a significant improvement in both cognitive and quality of life scores, suggesting that patients with mixed hearing loss secondary to presbycusis and chronic otitis media can benefit significantly from operative intervention.…”

Purpose of reviewHearing loss is one of the largest modifiable risk factors for developing dementia, accounting for up to 9% of the overall modifiable risk. The neuropsychologic and psychosocial impacts of hearing loss are becoming increasingly appreciated. The objective of this review is to explore the recent literature regarding the cognitive and behavioral effects of hearing loss and the role of hearing rehabilitation, particularly in older adults. Recent findingsCognitive decline may begin while patients have subclinical hearing loss, earlier than previously thought. Hearing rehabilitation, either via hearing amplification, middle ear surgery, or cochlear implantation, likely plays a role in preventing or slowing the rate of cognitive decline in patients with hearing loss. Hearing loss can increase the likelihood of social isolation, loneliness and depression in older adults, but it is unclear at this time what effect hearing rehabilitation has on these domains.

Objective To test the hypothesis that conductive hearing loss (CHL) is associated with dementia, and that middle ear reconstruction (MER) associates with improved outcomes for these measures in a multinational electronic health records database. Study Design Retrospective cohort study with propensity-score matching (PSM). Setting TriNetX is a research database representing about 110 million patients from the United States, Taiwan, Brazil, and India. Patients Subjects older than 50 years with no HL and any CHL (ICD-10: H90.0–2). Subjects of any age with and without any MER (CPT: 1010174). Main Outcome Measures Odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for incident dementia (ICD-10: F01, F03, G30). Results Of 103,609 patients older than 50 years experiencing any CHL, 2.74% developed dementia compared with 1.22% of 38,216,019 patients with no HL (OR, 95% CI: 2.29, 2.20–2.37). Of patients experiencing CHL, there were 39,850 who received MER. The average age was 31.3 years, with 51% female patients. A total of 343,876 control patients with CHL were identified; 39,900 patients remained in each cohort after 1:1 PSM for HL- and dementia-related risk factors. Matched risk for developing dementia among MER recipients was 0.33% compared with 0.58% in controls (OR: 0.58, 0.46–0.72). Conclusions CHL increases the odds for dementia, and MER improves the odds for incident dementia. This study represents the first population study on the topic of CHL, MER, and dementia.
