Manage episode 522552885 series 3558640
Everyone knows that with hearing loss, you can miss parts of conversations. But did you know that untreated hearing loss can cause faster cognitive decline, increased dementia risk, and brain atrophy?
Jeffrey Bellomo sits down with licensed hearing specialist Kathleen Scheydt of Hearing Life to discuss why early testing and treatment for hearing loss protect your ability to communicate with confidence and connect with your loved ones.
Kathleen describes modern hearing tests and how the results of speech testing reveal the importance of understanding what is being said. You'll also learn that many of us don't even realize that we're suffering from hearing loss because it can creep up slowly, often for years, before we realize there's a problem.
Hearing Life is committed to community programs that lower cost barriers for those struggling financially. The company also offers a culture and care model that blends small-office attention with nationwide support and big network advances in technology.
