“…MoCA has proved to be an effective tool to measure cognitive function as it assesses various domains of cognition. Lerch & Benz (2017) [17] assessed and compared the cognitive function of individuals with hearing impairment and normal hearing using MoCA along with MMSE and CERD plus battery (Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease). They found both MoCA and CERD plus battery were sensitive to detecting cognitive impairment and suggested including these tests in the routine clinical cognition assessment.…”

Aim: The current study aimed to analyze the cognitive skills of older adults with age-related hearing loss and the difference in cognitive functions between hearing aid users and non-users among older adults with age-related hearing loss using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Method: A total of 90 subjects participated in the study, the control group had 30 normally hearing older individuals, the unaided group had 30 older individuals with hearing loss who were non-users of hearing aids, and the aided group had 30 older individuals with hearing loss who are hearing aid users for more than 2 years. They were further divided into three sub-groups namely Group A:55-60 years, Group B:61-65 years, and Group C: 66-70 years. MoCA is a brief and rapid screening instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction that assesses various cognitive domains like naming, memory, etc. MoCA was administered to all the participants and the results were analysed. Results: The results indicated that normal-hearing participants had better cognitive scores compared to hearing-impaired individuals. Among the hearing-impaired group, the hearing aid users performed better on cognitive tasks as compared to the non-users which indicated the good impact of hearing aids on cognitive-based skills in the older age. Among the cognitive tasks, it was found that the ‘delayed recall’ task was difficult for all three groups. Conclusion: Hearing aids have a positive influence on the cognition of older adults with age-related hearing loss. It is important to incorporate cognitive tasks during the rehabilitation of older adults with hearing loss. Key words: Cognitive functions, age-related hearing loss, older adults, MoCA, hearing aids

“…Lin et al developed a timed computerized visual version of the MoCA and reported no difference in performance of the computerized visual MoCA between cognitively normal participants with normal hearing ( n = 103) vs. hearing loss ( n = 49) ( 37 ). Lerch and Benz created a German language version of Lin et al's computerized MoCA and tested it in 50 normal hearing and 100 hearing-impaired participants ( 38 ). A comparison with the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) and the Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) showed that the computerized MoCA-HI correlated with the CERAD plus battery ( 38 ).…”

BackgroundSince hearing loss and cognitive decline often co-occur among older adults, a cognitive screening test suitable for hearing-impaired people is of high clinical relevance. We report the first evaluation of a German language version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment—Hearing Impaired version (MoCA-HI).ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to compare cognitively healthy participants with and without hearing loss, to examine the impact of age, sex, educational level and degree of hearing impairment on the German MoCA-HI performance, and to develop normative data.Material and methodsThe German MoCA-HI was tested in 94 participants with normal or mild hearing impairment (group 1: 4PTA ≤ 40 dB on the better hearing ear) and 81 participants with moderate to profound hearing loss (group 2: 4PTA > 40 dB on the better hearing ear). Additionally, all participants performed the standard MoCA (version 8.2).ResultsNo significant group difference between group 1 and 2 was found in the MoCA-HI total score (p = 0.05). In contrast, group 1 performed significantly better than group 2 on the standard MoCA (p < 0.001). There was no difference between the MoCA and the MoCA-HI performance in group 1 (p = 0.12), whereas individuals of group 2 performed significantly better on the MoCA-HI than on the standard MoCA (p < 0.001). Test-retest reliability of the MoCA-HI was high (p < 0.001). Higher age (p < 0.001), male sex (p = 0.009) and lower education (p < 0.001) were associated with a lower overall MoCA-HI score. Based on the demographic data normative data were developed by a regression-based approach.ConclusionThe MoCA-HI is a cognitive screening test which is suitable for people with hearing impairment.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Schwerhörigkeit ist ein relevanter Risikofaktor einer Demenz. Bisher kann eine kognitive Beeinträchtigung oder Demenz von Personen mit Hörbeeinträchtigungen (HB) wegen des eingeschränkten Sensoriums von gängigen kognitiven Screeningverfahren nicht adäquat erfasst werden. Deshalb besteht ein Bedarf eines solchen an Hörgeschädigte angepassten Screenings. Ziel der Studie war es, ein kognitives Screening für Menschen mit HB zu entwickeln und zu evaluieren. Material und Methoden Hierzu wurden drei Aufgaben, eine Wortflüssigkeitsaufgabe, der Trail Making Test A (TMT-A) und eine Subtraktionsaufgabe in einem neuen kognitiven Screening, dem O‑DEM, zusammengefasst. Dieser wurde in einem ersten Schritt an 2837 Patient*innen ohne subjektive HB und anschließend an 213 Patient*innen mit objektiv erfassten HB evaluiert und mit dem Hearing-Impaired Montreal Cognitive Assessment (HI-MoCA) verglichen. Ergebnisse Es zeigte sich, dass jeder O‑DEM-Subtest signifikant zwischen keinen, leichten und mittleren bis ausgeprägten kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen unterscheiden kann. Basierend auf dem Mittelwert und der Standardabweichung der Menschen ohne kognitive Beeinträchtigungen wurde eine Transformation der Rohwerte vorgenommen und ein Gesamtscore mit einer maximalen Ausprägung von 10 festgelegt. Ebenso zeigte die Untersuchung an den hörgeschädigten Patient*innen, dass der O‑DEM genauso sensitiv wie der HI-MoCA zwischen Menschen mit und ohne kognitive Beeinträchtigungen differenzieren kann. Schlussfolgerungen Der O‑DEM ist gegenüber anderen Verfahren ein vergleichbar schnell durchzuführendes Screening zur Detektion von leichten und mittleren kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen bei Menschen mit HB.
