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.
