A cross-sectional study of how high-frequency hearing loss impacts cognitive functions in middle-aged-to-older adults
While both speech and higher-frequency hearing loss were associated with poorer cognition, only the former demonstrated effects beyond those of ageing. However, the present study only investigated two frequencies in the higher range, encouraging broader investigation of higher-frequency hearing's cognitive effects in the future.
