In older adults, hearing loss is a prevalent and undertreated medical condition that has been repeatedly linked to cognitive decline, dementia, and poor physical health [1]. However, it is still unclear if receiving rehabilitation via hearing aids can lower mortality risk and enhance general physical health.
