An Analysis of Characteristics of Cognitive Functions of Patients with Hearing Impairment and Influencing Factors
To investigate the cognitive function characteristics of patients with hearing impairment
analyze their influencing factors
and provide the basis for clinical intervention.
Methods
2
120 hearing impaired patients were selected from March 2021 to June 2024 as the observation group
and 120 healthy people as the control group. Clinical data of all the study subjects were collected
cognitive functions were assessed
and cognitive function characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed.
Results
2
Inter-group comparisons showed that patients in the observation group had significantly higher age
pure-tone average thresholds
and Hearing Handicap Identific
ation Assessment-Screening (HHIA-S) scale scores
but fewer years of education. In contrast
the total scores of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and scores of all its sub-items were significantly lower in the observation group. All these differences were statistically significant (
P
<
0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the number of years of education (OR=0.836
95%CI:0.715-0.978
P
=0.024) was a protective factor for cognitive impairment in patients with hearing impairment. Meanwhile
pure-tone average thresholds (OR=1.051
95%CI:1.008-1.096
P
=0.023) and HHIA-S scale scores (OR=1.094
95%CI:1.022-1.169
P
=0.011) were identified as independent risk factors.
Conclusion
2
Patients with hearing impairment exhibit significant cognitive deficits. Longer years of education serve as a protective factor against cognitive impairment in these patients
while higher pure-tone average thresholds and HHIA-S scale scores are risk factors. Clinicians should attach great importance to comprehensive assessment to facilitate the formulation of reasonable intervention strategies.
