Male and Female
The subjects were 80 healthy right-handed elderly men and women (age: 60 to 80) whose native language is Japanese.
Have a history of mental illness, diabetes, cranial nerve disease, heart disease (heart disease)
Taking medications that affect cognitive function (e.g., benzodiazepines, antidepressants, central nervous system drugs)
The score for the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination), a screening test for dementia, is 24 or less
Five or more tests (Geriatric Depression Scale) to check the degree of depression
Problems with hearing problems related to hearing (e.g. middle ear, ear problems, tinnitus, etc)
Hearing test average 25 dB or more
HHIE (Hearing Handicap Inventory Elderly) is 44% or less
If you are currently participating in another study, you have participated in another study within two months before the start of the study
If there is metal in the body or claustrophobia, it is not a subject because it is dangerous for MRI examination
Those who cannot participate in pre- and post-tests conducted before and after the intervention period
