Cognitive Screening of Patients with Hearing Loss
Sponsor: University of Zurich
Summary
Hearing loss and cognitive impairment both appear in elderly patients. The goal was to use a modified screening method added to already established cognitive tests to obtain a standardized test for detection of cognitive impairment in patients with hearing loss. The aim of this study is to collect data with neuropsychological tests using questionnaires and to determine cognitive impairment in patients with hearing loss. The collected data will be evaluated using SPSS 23. The corrected item-total correlation and item difficulty of the item DemTectEar will be assessed by item analysis / Cronbachs' Alpha. For further evaluation and comparisons two-sided t-tests with a level of significance 0.05 or Mann-Whitney-U-tests will be performed.
