It will then outline the ‘experience machine’ thought experiment and assess the conclusions Nozick draws. Referring to epistemological objections raised by Woolard and Hewitt alongside methodological objections…

hearing aids had an increased rate of decline in MMSE score than those in the control group.14 Comparing the control group and the hearing aid group showed that no significant change in the rate of conative decline, but had comparable rate of decline. Lin found the risk of cognitive impairment and increased possibility for decline of cognition was linearly correlated to the individual’s severity of hearing loss at baseline.16 In another large-scale study, reviewed by Utah State University,…
