Interesting study out of Johns Hopkins University is saying that those with hearing loss are five times more likely to develop dementia. The 12 year study followed 639 adults and determined that when you lose hearing, the brain atrophies.

There is a belief that says as you age, you lose hearing. Dr. Martin doesn’t necessarily buy that and says diet plays an important role, and especially glycation. Glycation is the loss of elasticity and sugar makes it worse!

Join Dr. Martin as he discusses the link between hearing loss and dementia in today’s episode.
