Special Issue Information
Emerging evidence suggests a link between hearing loss and cognitive decline. However, the scientific evidence supporting this association remains incomplete, and further studies are needed to confirm this link. This Special Issue aims to investigate whether all hearing restoration interventions, such as hearing aids, implantable devices, and cochlear implants in adults, can prevent or at least delay cognitive decline. All study designs are welcome, and given the multidisciplinary nature of this topic, we encourage submissions that involve collaboration among otolaryngologists, audiologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, and neurologists.
