Short excerpt below. Click through to read at the original source.

Presbycusis is a prevalent form of age-related hearing loss that also hinders speech recognition. While scientists have linked hearing loss to an increased risk of cognitive decline, the biological “bridge” between the two has remained unclear. Now researchers at Tiangong University and Shandong Provincial Hospital, led by Ning Li, have explored the link between these […]
