Exploring the Link: Unraveling the Connection Between Hearing Loss and Psychiatric Disorders.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hearing loss is a prevalent condition, particularly in older adults, with significant implications for mental health. This review explores the complex relationship between hearing impairment and psychiatric illnesses, including cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, and psychotic symptoms, through an analysis of current literature. This work highlights the dual impact of untreated hearing loss on auditory function and mental well-being by examining cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, retrospective studies, and meta-analyses. Key findings include the association of hearing loss with increased risks of dementia, social isolation, and mood disorders, driven by heightened cognitive load and communication challenges. Interventions such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, psychotherapy, and pharmacological treatments demonstrate the potential to alleviate these risks and improve mental health outcomes. However, their utilization remains limited, particularly in underserved regions. This underscores the need for early detection, multidisciplinary management, and expanded access to auditory care. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, this review offers new insights into the interplay between hearing impairment and psychiatric health, informing strategies for integrated intervention. Addressing hearing loss is crucial for improving communication and mitigating its profound effects on mental health, thereby enhancing quality of life across populations.
