Evidence from randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, and meta-analyses published between 2010 and 2025 was reviewed. Untreated hearing loss of \u226540 dB HL was consistently associated with faster cognitive decline, with dementia prevalence 61% higher than in normal-hearing peers. Hearing aid intervention was associated with up to a 48% reduction in cognitive decline among high-risk older adults. Three interacting mechanisms were identified: increased cognitive load, social isolation, and neurological change. The findings support timely audiological intervention as an important component of dementia prevention in this population.<\/p><p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: <em>sensorineural hearing loss, cognitive decline, dementia, hearing aid intervention, older adults, auditory rehabilitation.<\/em><\/p><p>    <style>\n        #bplde-embed-1 {\n            width: 100%;\n            height: 600px;\n        }\n        @media (max-width: 991px) {\n            #bplde-embed-1 {\n                width: 100%;\n                height: 600px;\n            }\n        }\n        @media (max-width: 767px) {\n            #bplde-embed-1 {\n                width: 100%;\n                height: 600px;\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style>\n\n    <div class=\"bplde-document-embed-frontend\"\n         id=\"bplde-embed-1\"\n         data-attributes=\"{&quot;docId&quot;:24085,&quot;documentSource&quot;:{&quot;doc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/saera.eu\\\/en\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/Segal-A.-2025.-Hearing-Aid-Intervention-and-Cognitive-Decline-in-Older-Adults.pdf&quot;,&quot;viewer&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;googleDrive&quot;:false},&quot;toolbar&quot;:{&quot;showName&quot;:false,&quot;download&quot;:false,&quot;_de_download_position&quot;:&quot;toolbar&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;dark&quot;,&quot;toolbar_bg_color&quot;:&quot;#343434&quot;,&quot;toolbar_text_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;},&quot;displayDimensions&quot;:{&quot;width&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;},&quot;height&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;}},&quot;securityRestrictions&quot;:{&quot;disablePopout&quot;:false,&quot;loading_icon&quot;:false},&quot;downloadManagement&quot;:{&quot;downloadButtonText&quot;:&quot;Download&quot;,&quot;_de_download_behavior&quot;:&quot;download&quot;,&quot;_de_download_filename&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;_de_download_show_count&quot;:false,&quot;_de_download_limit&quot;:0,&quot;_de_download_access&quot;:&quot;everyone&quot;,&quot;_de_download_access_roles&quot;:[],&quot;_de_download_access_message&quot;:&quot;Access Denied&quot;,&quot;_de_email_gate&quot;:false},&quot;lightbox&quot;:{&quot;lightbox&quot;:false,&quot;lightbox_btn_text&quot;:&quot;View Document&quot;,&quot;lightbox_btn_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;,&quot;lightbox_btn_background&quot;:&quot;#333333&quot;,&quot;lightbox_btn_size&quot;:&quot;medium&quot;}}\"\n         data-user=\"{&quot;isLoggedIn&quot;:false,&quot;userRoles&quot;:[],&quot;limitReached&quot;:false,&quot;downloadCount&quot;:0}\"\n         data-plugin-url=\"https:\/\/saera.eu\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/document-emberdder\/\"\n         data-post-id=\"24085\">\n        <div class=\"bplde-loading-placeholder\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; background: #f5f5f5; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 4px;\">\n            <p>Loading Viewer&#8230;<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/p><p>Download the full Research Work:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/saera.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Segal-A.-2025.-Hearing-Aid-Intervention-and-Cognitive-Decline-in-Older-Adults.pdf\">Segal, A.
