Neuroimaging Characteristics of Hearing Loss in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association between standard pure tone and speech audiometry with neuroimaging characteristics reflective of aging and dementia in older adults.

Study design

Prospective population-based study.

Setting

Single tertiary care referral center.

Methods

Participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of aging 60 years old or older with normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment, baseline neuroimaging, and a behavioral audiogram associated with neuroimaging were eligible for study. Imaging modalities included structural MRI (sMRI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI (FLAIR-MRI; N = 605), diffusion tensor imaging MRI (DTI-MRI; N = 444), and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET; N = 413).
