EPISODE 138: Hearing loss can cause many problems and devastate individuals, isolating them from the outside world. 

This is especially true for older people who generally tend to have less social contact…

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, studies show that even a mild untreated hearing loss can put us at a greater risk for dementia and cognitive decline!

So, taking great care of our hearing and ear health is super important.
