Comparative Cognitive Evaluation Using MoCA in Children with and Without Hearing Aids
Abstract: This study compares cognitive abilities in children with normal hearing and those using hearing aids, aged 10-12 years. Conducted over eight months at Little Flower Hospital and Research Centre, the research utilized the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tool to assess cognitive domains including attention, language, memory, and orientation. Ninety participants were equally divided between the two groups. Results revealed that children without hearing impairments scored significantly higher in multiple cognitive areas, such as attention and tailored cognitive support strategies for children with hearing impairment. The purpose of this study is to compare the cognitive abilities of children with normal hearing and those using hearing aids using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
