"These results provide compelling evidence that treating hearing loss is a powerful tool to protect cognitive function in later life, and possibly, over the long term, delay a dementia diagnosis," said Professor Frank Lin of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health."But any cognitive benefits of treating age-related hearing loss are likely to vary depending on an individuals’ risk of cognitive decline."Hearing loss that is linked with age affects two-thirds of those aged over 60 across the world.
