A cochlear implant (CI) is one of the best devices that helps people with hearing loss. Generally, the CI process requires time and investment, so it is important to achieve the desired results. Verbal ability is one of the important outcomes of CI and auditory rehabilitation is the last step and it necessary for make a result. Most of the time, verbal ability is delayed and this causes frustration in families. Having reliable tools for monitoring changes in the auditory system is beneficial. The evaluation of auditory performance not only in the peripheral but also in the central auditory system can be used for track of auditory rehabilitation results. Complex items such as words and syllables are better than simple items such as pure tones for assessing the auditory system. Therefore, it seems that use of the electrophysiological tools such as speech ABR can be valuable in monitoring auditory rehabilitation in CI recipients even in children who cannot provide subjective responses.

Cognitive Effects of Hearing Aid Use in Geriatric Individuals

Hearing loss has emerged as one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia. Recent advances in hearing technology have opened new frontiers in understanding how auditory rehabilitation can influence brain plasticity and cognitive health.

The ECHHO Program (Enhancing Cognitive Health through Hearing Optimization) represents a pioneering initiative that integrates clinical evidence, user data, and innovative hearing aid technologies to explore the link between hearing aid use and cognitive outcomes. This program provides new insights into how personalized amplification strategies, real-life data collection, and machine learning can support cognitive engagement and reduce listening effort.
