HEARING LOSS AND DEMENTIA

WHERE DOES THE BREAKDOWN BEGIN?
THE EAR-TO-BRAIN CONNECTION
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- Schedule a hearing test! It will NEVER hurt to have your hearing evaluated to establish a baseline. If we detect hearing loss, we can discuss options for moving forward.
- If you use hearing aids, wear them whenever you are awake. Keeping the brain stimulated, even in quiet situations, is important. The brain needs to hear all sounds to stay sharp and active--this includes the sink running, newspaper rustling, and feet stepping on the floor.
- Stay up to date on screenings and re-evaluate your hearing every one to two years. Hearing loss can happen gradually, and your brain might not know what it’s missing!
- If your family member struggles with dementia or Alzheimer's, please know many hearing solutions can improve communication. Reach out to us. We can walk through various hearing technologies or accessories that will suit the needs of your loved one.
