Assess the relation between hearing loss and psychiatric disorder', 'detailedDescription': "Hearing impairment is described as the partial or total loss of hearing ability. On the basis of the severity of the problem hearing impairment can be classified as mild, moderate, severe and profound. Age related hearing impairment is a very common disorder in older adulthood. It is considered as third most prevalent chronic health condition in people over 65 years of age. Hearing impairment in old age typically stems from some pathological changes inside the ear which are related to aging, it may lead to the impairment of low to high frequency hearing. This problem comes up with greater difficulty in listening process that significantly impairs person's ability to communicate with others, which in turn is a serious concern related to the mental health of individual.\n\nIt has been reported that adults with hearing loss tend to exhibit more symptoms of depression, anxiety, psychological distress, and emotional sensitivity as compared to people with normal hearing.\n\nHearing loss poses a serious risk to the mental well-being and overall quality of life in older adults. People may experience diminished self-esteem that in effect leads to the poor mental health and decline in psychological well-being.\n\nAlso, recent studies have demonstrated independent associations of hearing loss with incident dementia.\n\nIn Egypt such studies are lacking so investigators try to assess the impact of hearing loss on Psychiatry, Cognition and Quality of life by psychiatric interview, psychometric assessment , cognition assessment and quality of life assessment.\n\nthe aim is to evaluate the impact of hearing impairment on the above domains in Egypt"}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'people with hearing impairment (case) normal people without hearing impairment (control)', 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
