Dr. Terri Edwards - The Relationship Between Hearing Loss and Brain Function
Dr. Terri Edwards is the Founder of NewSound Solutions and an experienced audiologist. She has a passion for educating people on hearing loss and providing solutions to increase their quality of life. Over her career of more than 25 years, she has developed specialties in hearing loss, dizziness, and tinnitus.
Dr. Edwards earned her doctorate from the Arizona School of Health and Sciences at A.T. Still University and her master’s from California State University, Los Angeles. She has been married for more than 30 years and is the proud mother of two grown children.
In this episode…While the research is new, there is a strong and clear connection between hearing loss and brain function. Hearing loss is already a progressive degenerative disease — but it can also cause atrophy in the brain.
When left untreated, it can lead to substantial memory loss and even dementia. It’s a significant problem that goes far beyond not being able to hear the TV. Slowing or reversing these effects takes some serious treatment, but few are willing to go through with it. So, how do you get patients comfortable with taking their hearing seriously?
Dr. Mark Syms sits down with Dr. Terri Edwards, the Founder of NewSound Solutions, to see how she educates her patients and gets them comfortable. The two share amazing stories of hearing recovery, how to answer the major objections that patients have, and why proper hearing is so important. They also dive into Dr. Edwards’ personal journey and how a childhood friend drove her to help others through audiology. All of this on today’s episode of the ListenUp! Podcast.
