Abstract

Objective: With our aging population, an increasing number of older adults with hearing loss have cognitive decline. Hearing care practitioners have an important role in supporting healthy aging and should be knowledgeable about cognitive decline and associated management strategies to maximize successful hearing intervention.

Methods: A review of current research and expert opinion.

Results: This article outlines the association between hearing loss and cognitive decline/dementia, hypothesized mechanisms underlying this, and considers current research into the effects of hearing intervention on cognitive decline. Cognition into old age, cognitive impairment, dementia, and how to recognize cognitive decline that is not part of normal aging are described. Screening of older asymptomatic adults for cognitive decline and practical suggestions for the delivery of person-centered hearing care are discussed. Holistic management goals, personhood, and person-centered care in hearing care management are considered for older adults with normal cognitive aging through to dementia. A case study illustrates important skills and potential management methods. Prevention strategies for managing hearing and cognitive health and function through to older age, and strategies to maximize successful hearing aid use are provided.

Conclusion: This article provides evidence-based recommendations for hearing care professionals supporting older clients to maximize well-being through the cognitive trajectory.

在听力康复中促进听力和认知健康，促进老年人的健康。

目的：随着人口老龄化，越来越多患有听力损失的老年人认知能力下降。听力护理从业者在支持健康老龄化方面发挥着重要作用，应该了解认知能力下降和相关管理策略，以最大限度地成功进行听力干预。方法：回顾现有研究和专家意见。结果：本文概述了听力损失与认知能力下降/痴呆之间的联系，假设了其潜在机制，并考虑了目前关于听力干预对认知能力下降影响的研究。描述了老年认知、认知障碍、痴呆以及如何识别非正常衰老的认知能力下降。讨论了老年无症状成年人认知能力下降的筛查以及提供以人为中心的听力护理的实用建议。听力护理管理中的整体管理目标、人格和以人为中心的护理被考虑用于认知正常衰老至痴呆的老年人。案例研究说明了重要的技能和潜在的管理方法。提供了管理听力和认知健康和功能直至老年的预防策略，以及最大限度地成功使用助听器的策略。结论：本文为听力护理专业人员提供了循证建议，支持老年客户通过认知轨迹最大限度地提高幸福感。
