There are many possibilities for noise exposure in industrial workplaces, including sectors that extensively use heavy machinery in processing each product. Various studies indicate a causal relationship between noise exposure and auditory/nonauditory effects among workers. Noise exposure poses risks to health and workers' hearing acuity and safety.

Background: Speech abnormalities are increasingly recognized as a manifestation of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its preclinical and prodromal stages. Here, we investigated whether MRI measures of brain atrophy, specifically in the basal forebrain and cortical language areas, can predict cognitive decline and speech difficulties in older adults within the AD spectrum.
Method: The ongoing Prospect-AD study aims to develop an algorithm to automatically identify speech biomarkers in individuals with early signs of AD.

Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD), in the absence of objective cognitive impairment, may be the first symptomatic manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies have suggested that its combination with amyloid-positivity (Aβ+) may represent stage 2 AD, and is associated with a higher risk of future cognitive decline. Here, we aim to (1) confirm this using the plasma Aβ42/40 ratio, and (2) test whether the addition of plasma phospho-tau181 (ptau, a marker of Aβ and tau pathology) could help refine the prediction of future cognitive decline in SCD patients.

This study explores using a transformer-based approach to detect cognitive impairment using acoustic markers of spontaneous speech.
Method: Recordings of unstructured interviews from baseline visits were obtained from participants of The 90+ Study, a longitudinal study of individuals older than 90 years.
