This study intends to retrospectively collect and analyze the case data of patients with age-related hearing loss who were admitted to the Otolaryngology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from January 2020 to June 2024. Participants were divided into an Aided Group and a Control Group based on whether they had regularly used hearing aids in the past six months. Audiological, cognitive, emotional, and sleep assessments, as well as resting state electroencephalogram (EEG) features, are supposed to be compared between the two groups.
