Educational Program on the Newly Discovered Link between Dementia and Hearing Loss—The Hype and the Facts

The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Center on Aging have released new research documenting a link between hearing loss and dementia.  Dr. Linda Remensnyder, a research collaborator for the study, is hosting an Educational Program on “The Newly Discovered Link between Dementia and Hearing Loss---the Hype and the Facts” at the Grayslake AARP Meeting on Monday, July 23^rd, at 2:00 PM.

Along with Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., the study’s lead author, Dr. Remensnyder is developing an “Audibility Everywhere” protocol to determine if aggressive hearing loss management can play a role in stalling cognitive decline.  In addition to her Beyond Hearing Aids, Sound Advice classes, Dr. Remensnyder’s strategies include the installaion of hearing loops in patients’ media rooms as well as live theatres and places of worship.  Hearing loops wirelessly link the listener directly into a sound system thereby eliminating echoing sound, background noise, and distance issues.
