Description
Jennifer Lister and co-authors test whether hearing loss changes how depression and thinking skills relate in older adults, in a 2023 study. All three problems are common in later life, and hearing loss is the strongest fixable dementia risk in midlife, while depression leads in late life. The sample held 65 adults averaging 74 years.
Two hearing tests, mood scores, and two thinking tests were measured in an ongoing study of early decline. Neither hearing nor thinking scores alone predicted depression. The pairing did: a significant interaction showed the depression-thinking link bending with hearing level. The authors say ears may quietly shape the mind-mood connection, and hearing care could matter for both.
