In this episode…

Recent research has pointed toward a connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline. While it’s invaluable to treat hearing loss to combat neurological disease, that’s not the only solution. In fact, as more work is done in the field, science is offering more ways than ever to diagnose and fight against cognitive decline.

As a cognitive neurologist, Dr. Parichita Choudhury is aware of the impact hearing has on brain function. She is a proponent of healthy mental exercise and testing, working hands-on with her patients to help their cognitive health, and now, explains exactly what that looks like in practice. Dr. Mark Syms has a thorough discussion with Dr. Parichita Choudhury, a cognitive neurologist at Banner Health, about cognitive decline and how to fight against it. They discuss her qualifications and observations in the field before diving deep into subjects such as brain testing programs, how the MoCA works, and exercises people can perform to strengthen their cognition.
