study of cognitive reserve disorder affecting depression in aged related hearing loss via rest state eeg

Conditions: Age-related Hearing Loss; Cognitive Decline; Depression

Summary: in this study, patients with aged-related hearing loss with depression and without depression were evaluated by audiometry (pure tone audiometry and speech audiometry), cognitive function assessment (mmse scale for simple mental state test, moca scale for montreal cognitive assessment), and depressive symptoms assessment (gds-15 and hamd), resting state eeg. the ananlysis of resting state eeg included power spectral density, traceability analysis, functional connectivity, microstate, clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, characteristic path permeability, and compatibility coefficient. eeg signals were used to explore the activation of brain regions and poor connectivity of brain regions affected by cognitive reserve dissonance on the level of brain imaging. this paper innovatively explores the influence of cognitive reserve dissonance on depressive mood in senile deafness by means of audiological assessment, cognitive function assessment, depression symptom assessment, resting state electroencephalography (eeg) and other technical means. auditory and cognitive cortical activation, functional connectivity of brain regions, small-world attributes and microstates were analyzed in senile deafness with or without depression at the brain imaging level.
