Key Points

  • To investigate how age-related hearing loss affects not only auditory processing but also written language processing.
  • Focused on the implications of age-related hearing loss
  • Examined the effects on written language and reading ability across different studies
  • Analyzed how auditory deficits can impact non-auditory modalities
  • Indicated that individuals with age-related hearing loss struggle with written language processing
  • Showed a correlation between hearing loss severity and reading ability deterioration
  • Highlighted the lesser-studied effects of hearing loss beyond auditory input processing

Abstract

Research question: Research on age-related hearing loss (HL) has mainly focused on auditory input processing. However, recent findings indicate that HL can also impair non-auditory modalities such as written language processing and reading ability ref:1, ref:2.
