Purpose Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is associated with impaired hearing. However, the evidence is less clear if DM2 can lead to difficulty understanding speech in complex acoustic environments, independently of age and hearing loss effects. The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of DM2-related effects on speech understanding in the presence of competing speech after adjusting for age and hearing. Method A cross-sectional study design was used to investigate the relationship between DM2 and speech understanding in 190 Veterans ( M age = 47 years, range: 25-76)...

This article aims to investigate the association between hearing and nonfatal injury or falls in a nationally representative sample of adults from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) utilizing over 20 years of participant surveys. We conducted a pooled cross-sectional analysis of participant surveys (aged 50 years and older) from 1997 to 2017. Self-report hearing difficulty, history of injury over the last 3 months, reported injury from fall over the last 3 months, and reported reason for fall (including due to balance/dizziness) were collected...

Objective: To assess whether specific non-communicable diseases are associated with hearing aid adoption in older adults with hearing loss. Design: A cross-sectional, observational study. Study sample: Data was obtained from one of the largest pharmacy-led health and beauty retailers in the United Kingdom. In total, 17,172 older adults were included. Results: Greater odds of adopting hearing aids were associated with being older (Odds ratio [ OR ] = 1.03; 95% confidence interval [ CI ] = 1.02, 1.03), having fewer self-reported hearing difficulties ( OR  = 0...

OBJECTIVE: Hearing loss is a risk factor for cognitive impairment, and the use of a hearing aid (HA) may prevent cognitive decline alongside hearing loss. We aimed to elucidate the prevalence of self-reported HA usage in Japanese community-dwelling elders with hearing loss, and the effect of hearing and HA on cognitive impairment. METHODS: A total of 1193 participants, who had audiometric defined hearing loss and were aged 60 years or over, had their cumulative 3260 observations followed up for 10 years from a large cohort of a Japanese study...

The gene PTRH2 encodes a protein with peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase activity and is involved in the translation process in protein synthesis. The kinesin family member 1-A (KIF1A) gene encodes a molecular motor involved in axonal transport along microtubules. Mutations in these genes lead to respective phenotypical conditions that have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we present a novel syndrome of concurrent occurrence of mutations in the PTRH2 and KIF1A genes in a 19-year-old girl of Dravidian-Tamil descent from the Southern part of India...

A large number of existing studies in the broader literature have speculated on the role of gender in the incidence of dementia. Most of these studies tend to suggest that women have an increased risk of dementia when matched with men. The objective of the study was to evaluate awareness of controllable risk of dementia among women such as social enhancement, cognitive training, tobacco cessation, avoid alcohol consumption, increasing physical activity, management of overweight, hypertension, high lipids, diabetes, depression and provision of hearing aids to elderly after screening...

People aging with HIV infection (PAWH) experience greater impairments in physical and cognitive function, in addition to higher rates of peripheral comorbid conditions (e.g. renal failure, diabetes, bone fracture, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, polypharmacy and multimorbidity). While multifactorial drivers including HIV infection itself, antiretroviral therapy (ART)-related toxicities, disparities in care and biobehavioral factors likely contribute, there remains an overarching question as what are the relevant age-related mechanisms and models that could inform interventions that promote healthspan and lifespan in PAWH? This workshop was convened to hear from experts on the biology of aging and HIV researchers studying PAWH to focus on advancing investigation at the interface of HIV and Aging...

BACKGROUND: Individuals with severe disability often require personal assistance and help from informal caregivers, in addition to conventional health care. The utilization of assistance dogs may decrease the need for health and social care and increase the independence of these individuals. Service and hearing dogs are trained to assist specific individuals and can be specialized to meet individual needs. The aim of this study was to describe and explore potential consequences for health-related quality of life, well-being and activity level, of having a certified service or hearing dog...

OBJECTIVES: Suboptimal hearing aid use extorts significant social, health, and economic costs. The aims of this study were to (1) test the novel hypothesis that the threat associated with being diagnosed with hearing loss could be ameliorated with a self-affirmation manipulation and (2) gauge the feasibility of deploying the manipulation in routine clinical practice. DESIGN: Parallel groups randomized controlled trial with 10-week follow-up. METHOD: Fifty people, newly prescribed with a hearing aid, completed either a questionnaire that included a brief self-affirming exercise or an identical questionnaire with no self-affirming exercise...

Recently, many studies have reported that sensorineural hearing impairment related to neurological disorders may be caused by diabetes mellitus. However, to date, only a small number of studies have investigated the treatment of sensorineural hearing impairment. In the present study, the effects of chlorogenic acid on diabetic auditory pathway impairment were evaluated by neuro-electrical physiological measurements and morphological investigations. We have shown that CA efficiently prevents the progression of auditory pathway dysfunction caused by DM using auditory brainstem responses and auditory middle latency responses in mice...
