In this special presentation, Dr. Jaime A.B. Wilson embarks on a fascinating and entertaining journey on the what, how, and why of the dementia and hearing loss tie-in. People with hearing loss – along with their loved ones, healthcare providers and interpreters who work with them – must be aware of the 24% increased risk of dementia that comes with hearing loss. Dr. Wilson discusses what we can do to protect ourselves against the disease of dementia while maximizing the quality of our lives during the Golden Years.
