It’s Dementia Action Week. Lets talk hearing loss and dementia:
Untreated hearing loss can cause the brain to work harder as people struggle to understand and can become confused. This can potentially accelerate brain shrinkage in areas linked to sound processing and memory. Looking after your hearing is so important.
Regular hearing checks and using hearing aids when needed can help keep the brain’s sensory pathways active and reduce unnecessary strain on memory and thinking processes.
