“…The endogenous antioxidant systems within involve enzymes such as vitamins A, E, and C, flavonoids such as quercetin, and trace As the perception of sound is a highly neurocognitive process involving numerous brain networks directly or indirectly involved in auditory processing and representation [18,292,293], the loss of primary auditory inputs results in a major restructuring of the neurological network beyond the auditory cortices [294,295]. In addition, recent studies revealed the co-occurrence of altered auditory perception in neurodegenerative conditions [296][297][298][299], with age-related etiologies. Hence, it does not come as a surprise that there are significant associations between hearing impairment and the development of dementia and alternate neurological conditions [300], particularly neuropsychiatric conditions involving multisensory perception [301,302].…”
