Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study intends to retrospectively collect and analyze the case data of patients with age-related hearing loss who were admitted to the Otolaryngology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from January 2020 to June 2024. Participants were divided into an Aided Group and a Control Group based on whether they had regularly used hearing aids in the past six months.

Audiological, cognitive, emotional, and sleep assessments, as well as resting state electroencephalogram (EEG) features, are supposed to be compared between the two groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study intends to retrospectively collect and analyze the case data of patients with age-related hearing loss who were admitted to the Otolaryngology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from January 2020 to June 2024. Participants were divided into an Aided Group and a Control Group based on whether they had regularly used hearing aids in the past six months.

The audiological assessment comprises pure tone audiometry, speech recognition audiometry, and sound field audiometry. The cognitive assessment includes the Mandarin version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The emotional assessment consists of the 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Sleep assessment is conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
