Whether hearing loss is independently associated with accelerated cognitive decline in older adults is unknown. We studied 1984 older adults (mean age 77.4 years) enrolled in the HealthABC study, a prospective observational study begun in 1997–98. Our baseline cohort consisted of participants without prevalent cognitive impairment (Modified Mini-Mental State [3MS] scores ≥ 80) who underwent audiometric testing in Year 5. Participants were followed for 6 years. Hearing was defined at baseline using a pure-tone average (PTA) of thresholds at 0.5 – 4 kHz in the better-hearing ear. Cognitive testing was performed in Years 5, 8, 10, and 11 and consisted of the 3MS (measuring global function) and the Digit Symbol Substitution test (DSS, measuring executive function). Incident cognitive impairment was defined as a 3MS score < 80 or a decline in 3MS > 5 points from baseline. Mixed-effects regression and Cox models were adjusted for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Individuals with baseline hearing loss (PTA > 25 dB, n = 1162) had rates of decline in 3MS and DSS scores that were 41% and 32% greater, respectively, than those in normal hearing individuals (3MS: −0.65 points/year [95% CI: −0.73 – −0.56] vs. −0.46 points/year [95% CI: −0.55 – −0.36], p=.004; DSS: −0.83 points/year [95% CI: −0.94 – −0.73] vs. −0.63 points/year [95% CI: −0.75 – −0.51], p=.015). Compared to those with normal hearing, individuals with hearing loss had a 24% (Hazard ratio: 1.24 [95% CI: 1.05 – 1.48]) increased risk of incident cognitive impairment. Rates of cognitive decline and the risk of incident cognitive impairment were linearly associated with the severity of an individual’s baseline hearing loss. Hearing loss is independently associated with accelerated cognitive decline and incident cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults. Further studies investigating the mechanistic basis of this association and whether hearing rehabilitative interventions could affect cognitive decline are needed.
