Figures & data
Table 1. Characteristics for total sample and those with self-reported normal hearing and self-reported hearing difficulties.
Figure 1. Figures represent path models of association for the psychosocial model of association between hearing difficulties and subjective memory problems; (A) represents the direct path between hearing difficulties and memory problems, (B) with social isolation as a mediator, (C) with social isolation and loneliness as mediators. Values represent standardised estimates [β] of direct paths. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.

Figure 2. Figures represent path models of association for the physical health model of association between hearing difficulties and subjective memory problems; (A) days of total physical activity included as a mediator, (B) days of moderate and vigorous physical activity included as a mediator, (C) days walking included as a mediator, (D) days walking and presence of cardiovascular risk factors included as mediators. Values represent standardised estimates [β] of direct paths. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
