How does protecting your hearing protect your brain?
Research shows that untreated hearing loss can increase dementia risk by up to 50%. When your brain struggles to process unclear sounds, it has fewer resources for memory and thinking. The good news? Properly fitted hearing aids help maintain your cognitive function. We’re here to help!
