Association Between Cognitive Impairment and the Presence of Hearing Problems and Precarious Conditions

Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Summary

Cognitive disorders are extremely common. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cognitive disorder, with an estimated 800,000 to 1 million patients suffering from this neurodegenerative disorder in France. Cognitive disorders can also be observed in other common conditions such as Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. It has been shown that the presence of hearing impairment associated with cognitive disorders increases the latter. In addition, rare studies have shown that people in precarious situations are at greater risk of developing cognitive disorders early and rapidly, and consequently dementia. The population of Seine Saint Denis (93) is known to be particularly affected by precariousness, which is why the investigators want to study its impact on patients with cognitive disorders associated with hearing impairment. These people need to be detected and supported in order to offer them a hearing aid that would improve or stabilize their cognitive state, or at least facilitate the rehabilitative management of their cognitive deficit.
