Hearing loss (HL) rehabilitation involves using different hearing technologies, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants. The efficacy of HL rehabilitation strategies and their cognitive benefits has been reported for clinical populations, such as those with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. However, up to date, there is no clarity about the cognitive-linguistic implications of HL rehabilitation for healthy older adults. Therefore, increasing knowledge about its benefits in healthy older people is critical to generating early intervention strategies that could delay the progression to pathological stages. Aim. To profile cognitive-linguistic performance after HL rehabilitation in healthy older adults. Methodology. Systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines. We included randomized and non-randomized clinical trials from Medline by PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases (January 2000 to May 2024). Results. We identified 410 titles, from which five papers were qualitatively analyzed. Results suggest that after HL rehabilitation, healthy older adults improve their performance in specific abilities such as working memory, delayed recall, attention, semantic and phonological fluency, and language comprehension. We highlight an association between working memory improvement and semantic skills’ benefits, especially in subjects with mild to moderate HL. Conclusion. HL rehabilitation programs should consider cognitive-linguistic stimulation programs in healthy older adults to prevent cognitive dysfunction or neurodegenerative conditions. We only analyzed a few studies; thus, we suggest interpreting the information carefully. Indeed, promoting more follow-up studies to clarify the benefits of using hearing devices and their cognitive-linguistic implications in healthy people is still necessary. Introducción. La rehabilitación de la pérdida auditiva (PA) implica el uso de diferentes tecnologías como audífonos o implantes cocleares, siendo descritos sus beneficios cognitivos para poblaciones clínicas como el deterioro cognitivo leve o demencia. Sin embargo, no hay claridad a la fecha sobre las implicancias cognitivo-lingüísticas de la rehabilitación auditiva en personas mayores sanas con PA. Por tanto, incrementar el conocimiento sobre sus beneficios en personas mayores sanas es fundamental para generar lineamientos de intervención tempranos que puedan retrasar la progresión de esta población a estadios patológicos. Objetivo. Perfilar el rendimiento cognitivo-lingüístico tras la rehabilitación auditiva en adultos mayores sanos con PA. Metodología. Se realizó una revisión sistemática siguiendo los lineamientos PRISMA. Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados y no aleatorizados desde Medline (PubMed), Scopus y Web of Science (enero 2000 a mayo 2024). Resultados. Cinco estudios fueron analizados. Los resultados sugieren que, tras la rehabilitación de la PA, los adultos mayores mejoran su rendimiento en capacidades memoria de trabajo, recuerdo retardado, atención, fluidez semántica-fonológica, y lenguaje comprensivo. La mejora en memoria de trabajo favorece las habilidades semánticas, especialmente en PA leve a moderada. Conclusión. La rehabilitación de la PA debería considerar programas de estimulación cognitivo-lingüística en adultos mayores sanos para prevenir declives cognitivos o cuadros neurodegenerativos. Dado el número de estudios incluidos, nuestros hallazgos deben ser interpretados con cautela. Finalmente, sigue siendo necesario promover más estudios de seguimiento para dilucidar los beneficios del uso de dispositivos auditivos y sus implicancias cognitivas-lingüísticas en personas mayores sanas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
