Hearing Loss, Vestibular Loss and Cognitive Performance

NCT03690817 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hearing loss is an established independent risk factor for dementia. Likewise, recent research demonstrated cognitive deficits in subjects with vestibular loss. However, in these studies data have not been adjusted for the hearing status of the enrolled study subjects. As hearing loss prevalence is high in patients with vestibular loss, this could be a major confounder. Therefore, in this study the investigators investigate cognition in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy with and without hearing loss. The investigators adjust data for the hearing status of the patients to explore the link between hearing loss, vestibular loss and cognition.
