Objective: To characterize the neurocognitive profile of HL. Methods: N\u200a=\u200a8,529 participants from the National Alzheimer\u2019s Coordinating Center \u226560 years and free of cognitive impairment who were characterized as Untreated-, Treated-, or No HL. Outcomes included executive function (Trail Making Test [TMT] Part B), episodic memory (Immediate\/Delayed Recall), language fluency (Vegetables, Boston Naming Test), and conversion to dementia. Regression models were fit to examine associations between HL and neurocognitive performance at baseline. Cox proportional hazards models examined the links between HL, neurocognitive scores, and development of dementia over follow-up. Results: At baseline, those with Untreated HL (versus No HL) had worse neurocognitive performance per standardized difference on executive function (TMT Part B [mean difference\u200a=\u200a0.05 (95% CI 0.00, 0.10)]) and language fluency (Vegetables [mean difference\u200a=\u200a\u20130.07 (95% CI \u20130.14, \u20130.01)], Boston Naming Test [mean difference\u200a=\u200a\u20130.07 (95% CI \u20130.13, \u20130.01)]). No differences in these neurocognitive performance scores were demonstrated between Treated HL and No HL groups other than MMSE [mean difference\u200a=\u200a\u20130.06 (95% CI \u20130.12, 0.00)]. Through follow-up, executive dysfunction differed by hearing group (\u03c72(2)\u200a=\u200a46.08, p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.0001) and was present among 39.12% in No HL, 44.85% in Untreated HL, and 49.40% in Treated HL. Worse performance across all cognitive domains predicted incident dementia. Conclusion: The observed association between Untreated HL and lower cognitive ability that improved when hearing aids were worn may reflect an inability to hear the test instructions. Future studies using cognitive assessments validated for use in HL are needed to evaluate the neuropsychological profile of HL and identify individuals at risk for dementia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-200908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,13]],"date-time":"2021-02-13T21:58:26Z","timestamp":1613253506000},"page":"855-864","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Age-Related Hearing Loss, Neuropsychological Performance, and Incident Dementia in Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Katharine K.","family":"Brewster","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mei-Chen","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie M.","family":"Wall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick J.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sigal","family":"Zilcha-Mano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven P.","family":"Roose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Stein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin S.","family":"Golub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bret R.","family":"Rutherford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1820","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2016.303299","article-title":"Prevalence of hearing loss by severity in the United States","volume":"106","author":"Goman","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"378","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599813518021","article-title":"The association between hearing loss and social isolation in older adults","volume":"150","author":"Mick","year":"2014","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"644","DOI":"10.1177\/0898264315608730","article-title":"Association of hearing impairment with incident frailty and falls in older adults","volume":"28","author":"Kamil","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Aging Health"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref4","first-page":"703","article-title":"Hearing impairment and incident dementia and cognitive decline in older adults: The Health ABC Study","volume":"72","author":"Deal","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneurol.2015.12","article-title":"Age-related hearing impairment\u2014a risk factor and frailty marker for dementia and AD","volume":"11","author":"Panza","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nat Rev Neurol"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"214","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurol.2010.362","article-title":"Hearing loss and incident dementia","volume":"68","author":"Lin","year":"2011","journal-title":"Arch Neurol"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-200908_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"395","DOI":"10.1097\/AUD.0000000000000142","article-title":"Peripheral hearing and cognition.
