Summary
This study looks at whether using hearing aids over the long term can slow down memory loss and reduce the risk of dementia in older adults. It follows 629 people aged 70-84 who already took part in a previous hearing study. Researchers will compare those who got hearing help right away to those who waited, checking their thinking skills and any dementia diagnosis over three more years.
