Abstract
Sensory impairments such as age-related hearing loss and poor eyesight have been associated with a negative impact on cognitive screening test scores. Many researchers use cognitive tests and consider factors such as vision and cardiac issues but do not account for hearing loss. We reviewed published literature in the field of gerontology to determine if hearing loss was considered in human subjects research that involved the administration of a cognitive battery or screening test. We present evidence for the need to consider hearing loss when administering cognitive screening tests, as well as recommendations for practitioners and researchers.
期刊介绍：
Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology (CBN) is a forum for advances in the neurologic understanding and possible treatment of human disorders that affect thinking, learning, memory, communication, and behavior. As an incubator for innovations in these fields, CBN helps transform theory into practice. The journal serves clinical research, patient care, education, and professional advancement.
The journal welcomes contributions from neurology, cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, and other relevant fields. The editors particularly encourage review articles (including reviews of clinical practice), experimental and observational case reports, instructional articles for interested students and professionals in other fields, and innovative articles that do not fit neatly into any category. Also welcome are therapeutic trials and other experimental and observational studies, brief reports, first-person accounts of neurologic experiences, position papers, hypotheses, opinion papers, commentaries, historical perspectives, and book reviews.
