What are the different types of hearing loss? How can we prevent and treat hearing loss? What is the difference between an audiologist, ENT, otologist? What is the impact of today’s earbuds and headphones? What is the connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline? What are cochlear implants? What is tinnitus?
“Hearing loss really is a silent epidemic because once you start losing your hearing you don’t really know what you’re missing.
“The funny thing about the human brain is that your brain will reorganize the way that it processes information if you’re missing access to speech information.”
“If you’re someone who is 65 years old and you have not had an actual, legitimate baseline hearing test by an audiologist, you need to find an audiologist in your area and schedule a baseline test whether you think you have hearing loss or not.”
“It only takes as little as 3 months with mild level hearing loss for your brain to start changing the way that it processes information.”
“If you have mild level hearing loss you are 2x more likely to develop dementia. If you have moderate hearing loss you are 3x more likely and if you have severe hearing loss you are 5x more likely to develop dementia.”
“Hearing loss is the leading potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia later in life and it accounts for 9% of your overall risk of developing dementia.”
