Age-related hearing loss is a neurodegenerative disease in elderly individuals with no confirmed effective medical management. Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathophysiology of ARHL. However, antioxidant therapy has not proven to be a promising elixir to prevent or treat ARHL[1]. Previ...
Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI, also known as presbycusis) is potentially a reversible risk factor for dementia and Alzheimer disease (AD). Social isolation, loneliness, poor verbal communication, and cognitive reserve depletion might causally link ARHI with cognitive impairment. ARHI is an impor...

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), or presbycusis, is a common, progressive, and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately between 30 and 40 % of the world's population over 60 years-old [[1], [2], [3]]. Besides its profound generic impact in healthy aging, it has...
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) has been posited as a possible modifiable risk factor for neurocognitive impairment and dementia. Measures sensitive to early neurocognitive changes associated with ARHL would help to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning this relationship. We hypothesized that ARHL might...
