Many senior citizens are affected by age-related hearing loss. The disorder often impairs speech perception, which leads to social isolation and depression, but it is also an important modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia.

Scientists from all around the world meet every two years in Linköping to discuss the latest research in the field of Cognitive hearing science.

Open seminar series arranged by Linnaeus Centre HEAD in collaboration with the Disability Research Division at Linköping University.

Hearing loss may cause reduced speech comprehension, memory problems and possibly contribute to dementia. We study the relationship between hearing, cognition and communication over time and thus any connections to the development of dementia.
