Hannah Cross et al.

Summary: This systematic review reports on the effectiveness, barriers, and facilitators of hearing rehabilitation for care home residents with dementia. The findings indicate that hearing rehabilitation can improve communication, quality of life, and reduce agitation for residents. However, symptoms of dementia, time pressures, and lack of staff training pose barriers to implementing hearing rehabilitation. A person-centered approach and increased funding and support for the social care sector are needed.
