Does Hearing Impairment Impact Spatial Orientation, Navigation, and Rotation Abilities?

CONCLUSIONS: The study found that individuals with hearing loss exhibited lower performance in various cognitive tasks related to spatial orientation, navigation, spatial learning, mental imagery, and rotation abilities when compared to an age and sex matched control group. In future study, it is imperative to place greater emphasis on hearing loss as a potential detrimental factor in the prediction of spatial cognition impairment.PMID:38130098 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231219127
