The Dementia Question: What is the Relationship to Hearing Loss? What Can We do to Mitigate Risk?
Briefly

Dr. Justin Golub will present a lecture examining the link between hearing loss and cognitive decline, focusing on the implications of using hearing aids. He will delve into the nature of the association between these two conditions, explore evidence supporting the efficacy of hearing aids in reducing cognitive decline risk, and consider whether increased cognitive effort required for understanding speech is the primary reason for this relationship. The session will also highlight recent research and ongoing studies regarding age-related hearing loss and its neurological effects, aiming to improve treatment outcomes.
Dr. Justin Golub's upcoming discussion will explore the connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline, investigating whether hearing aids can mitigate this risk.
