Trajectory of depressive symptom before and after incident hearing loss: A 24-year population-based longitudinal cohort study
Incident HL is associated with an immediate increase and a long-term progress in depressive symptoms, independent of pre-onset trajectories. These findings highlight HL as a preventable risk factor for late-life depressive symptoms and underscore the importance of early detection and intervention for hearing to mitigate depressive symptom risk in aging populations.
