Event Details

Hearing loss is more than just a communication challenge—it’s a significant risk factor for cognitive decline. Research shows that untreated hearing impairment can increase the likelihood of dementia, due to social isolation and reduced mental stimulation. Join Mary K. Bohr, Au.D. and Director of Audiology at McGuire's Hearing Centers, for this presentation that explores the link between hearing loss and dementia, the importance of early intervention, and practical strategies to support individuals with both conditions. Join us to learn how improving hearing health can play a vital role in cognitive well-being.
