Description
Jennifer Deal presents the ACHIEVE randomized trial in 2023, a large study of hearing treatment and cognitive decline. The trial enrolled 977 dementia-free adults aged seventy to eighty-four with untreated mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Participants received either a best-practices hearing intervention or a health education program on successful aging.
The main outcome is three-year cognitive decline, measured with a ten-item neurocognitive battery. Secondary outcomes cover memory, language, and executive function, plus time until dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Deal explains the trial design, its analysis plan, and why the results matter. ACHIEVE is the first large randomized test of whether treating hearing loss slows cognitive decline.
