Auditory and cognitive function in older adults living with and without HIV.

Objectives: To evaluate the peripheral hearing sensitivity and central auditory processing in persons with HIV (PWH) and persons without HIV (PWoH); and the association between cognitive function and central auditory processing in PWH and PWoH.

Design: Cross-sectional, observational study.

Methods: Participants included 67 PWH {70.

Auditory Processing of Older Adults With Probable Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Purpose: Studies suggest that deficits in auditory processing predict cognitive decline and dementia, but those studies included limited measures of auditory processing. The purpose of this study was to compare older adults with and without probable mild cognitive impairment (MCI) across two domains of auditory processing (auditory performance in competing acoustic signals and temporal aspects of audition).

Method: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Nasreddine et al.
