Figure 1. A) Frontal cortical regions with below-normal metabolism (less than 5th percentile, displayed in color) at baseline, in subject with mild cognitive impairment and untreated hearing loss. B) Frontal cortical regions with below-normal metabolism two years later. Brighter red colors correspond to more severely diminished metabolism. In contrast, the group of subjects using hearing aids did not undergo significant decline in any frontal cortical region over the same time period.
