Abstract:
The review of literature considers the correlation between hearing loss and dementia. Hearing loss is one of the few potentially modifiable factors in terms of dementia prevention, and the research highlighted in this article confirms the need to continue studying this correlation to better understand the benefits of treating hearing loss in order to improve cognitive function. It should be kept in mind that hearing loss also has social consequences in the form of reduced daily activity, communication function, isolation, loss of independence, impaired ability to drive vehicles, and this once again confirms the importance of timely treatment of hearing loss. This article also addresses the problem of late diagnosis, lack of treatment and rehabilitation of hearing loss in elderly people.
