Electroencephalogram-based objective assessment of cognitive function level associated with age-related hearing loss.

ABSTRACT: Age-Related Hearing Loss (ARHL) is a common problem in aging. Numerous longitudinal cohort studies have revealed that ARHL is closely related to cognitive function, leading to a significant risk of cognitive decline and dementia. This risk gradually increases with the severity of hearing loss. We designed dual auditory Oddball and cognitive task paradigms for the ARHL subjects, then obtained the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale evaluation results for all the subjects. Multi-dimensional EEG characteristics helped explore potential biomarkers to evaluate the cognitive level of the ARHL group, having a significantly lower P300 peak amplitude coupled with a prolonged latency. Moreover, visual memory, auditory memory, and logical calculation were investigated during the cognitive task
