Did you know that individuals with hearing loss are at an increased risk for developing cognitive decline and dementia? It’s true. New research finds treating hearing loss is the single most modifiable way to reduce the risk of dementia.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Are others asking you to turn down the TV or radio frequently?
  • Do you have trouble following a conversation in the car?
  • Do you find yourself guessing at words often, sometimes incorrectly?
  • Are you uncomfortable in social situations because you are worried about hearing?
  • Do you ask others to repeat themselves often, more loudly or slowly?
  • Is most of what you hear muffled and difficult to make out, even though it is loud enough?
  • Are you cheating by reading lips or relying on situational context?
  • Have multiple family members or friends approached you about your hearing?
