Hearing aids were linked to better cognitive scores in some older adults, but not to proven dementia prevention
A report on the CHOICE trial says adults with hearing loss and mild cognitive problems were more likely to return to normal cognitive scores over two years with hearing aids than with health education alone.
TLDR
A reported result from the CHOICE trial found that 15.34% of adults with hearing loss and mild cognitive problems who received hearing aids returned to normal cognitive scores over two years, versus 2.36% of those who received health education. The finding is narrower than “hearing aids prevent dementia,” which the supplied evidence does not establish.
