“Hearing loss represents a risk factor for the development of cognitive decline in adults. There are currently no treatments for dementia and cognitive decline and as a result we are focusing on modifiable risk assessment. The scientific literature illustrates data that show that treating an adult subject with a hearing loss, through a hearing aid, allows to improve his cognitive abilities, managing to counter this problem which represents and will represent the main cause of death for the next twenty years ” . Thus the ENT Professor of the University of Bari “Aldo Moro”, Nicola Quaranta, on the sidelines of the 108th National Congress of the Italian Society of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, held at the La Nuvola Convention Center in Rome.
