The relationship between hearing loss and frailty in older adults at risk of cognitive decline: a cross-sectional study
Frail individuals exhibit poorer performance in peripheral and central hearing assessments, as well as in self-reported hearing handicap. Future randomised controlled trials are necessary to find out if the correction of hearing loss decreases the proportion of people affected by frailty in later life.
