Key research gaps in hearing impairment and cognition. Targeted research on the mechanism behind the association between hearing and cognition will guide intervention and prevention strategies. Additional research gaps include an understanding of potential bias in cognitive testing due to dependence on sensory abilities and how best to study and minimize this bias. Further understanding of if treating hearing loss via amplification or another means influences dementia risk is vital for public health. Determination if markers of sensory impairment may serve as indicators of pre-clinical dementia and how this may be incorporated with existing biomarkers. Adapted from Powell et al. (2021).
