Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions

6.1K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Line Loss01:10

Line Loss

The different configurations of source-load connections include wye (star) and delta connections. The relationship between line and phase voltages and currents varies depending on the configuration. When the source is supplying power, it is transmitted through the wires to the load, and during this transmission, some power is absorbed by the wires, leading to line loss.
Line loss impacts power delivery efficiency in a balanced three-phase circuit. The symmetry in such a circuit simplifies the...

Ending Relationships01:28

Ending Relationships

205
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Dementia research is increasing, with a focus on sensory impacts.
  • Auditory sense has been identified as a factor influencing dementia.
  • Understanding the link between hearing and cognition is crucial for elderly care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between declining hearing function and overall cognitive function in the elderly.
  • To determine if age-related hearing loss correlates with cognitive impairment.
  • To identify specific patterns of hearing loss affecting cognition.

Main Methods:

  • Eighty-two participants aged 65-90 years were recruited.
  • Cognitive function was assessed using the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination.
  • Hearing function was evaluated using pure-tone audiometry, followed by paired t-tests and Pearson's correlation analysis.

Main Results:

  • Higher frequency bands showed greater hearing loss in the elderly.
  • Significant differences in hearing between ears were observed, with the right ear showing more pronounced loss.
  • Cognitive function was not significantly correlated with age, but showed a significant negative correlation with hearing loss in the right ear.

Conclusions:

  • Hearing loss, especially in the right ear, significantly influences cognitive function in the elderly.
  • Auditory health is an important factor to consider in maintaining cognitive well-being in aging populations.
  • Early detection and management of hearing impairment may be beneficial for cognitive health in older adults.
