Abstract

Cochlear implants are a standard treatment for adults with severe to profound hearing loss. Around 2.5% of adults have severe to profound hearing loss, with three quarters of these people being older than 60 years. Approximately 20% of adults aged over 60 have cognitive impairment. Severe to profound hearing loss is therefore frequently comorbid with cognitive impairment. The aim of this scoping review is to provide a critical descriptive analysis of the outcomes of cochlear implantation for people living with cognitive impairment.
