Abstract:
Objective: This study extends prior findings by looking at the relationship between hearing acuity and cognitive difficulties in 51 nations. Methods: We draw on data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata International Series available at the Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation at the University of Minnesota. For all countries where data are available, bivariate relationships between hearing and cognitive problems are examined using correlation coefficients (Rs) and multivariate relationships using linear regression techniques (betas), controlling for age, gender, marital status, and education. Results: For all 51 countries, the R between hearing problems and cognitive problems is 0.334 (p < .001); the multivariate beta is 0.316 (p < .001). Regional results are also statistically significant. Discussion: The relationship between hearing and memory appears to be universal, and practitioners must carefully assess and treat their client's hearing disabilities before they can expect them to remember any information.
