The effect of hearing ability on dual-task performance following multi-domain training in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: findings from the SYNERGIC trial

Key Points

• Dual-task performance improves with hearing ability following multi-domain training, enhancing cognitive functions.
• Older adults with hearing challenges exhibit varying dual-task capabilities, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
• Assessment using observations from the SYNERGIC trial reveals significant variations in cognitive impairment outcomes.
• Training programs may need to integrate hearing assessments to optimize dual-task training effectiveness.
