ST. LOUIS — A 12-year Johns Hopkins study found that a mild hearing loss doubles the risk of dementia, and moderate hearing loss triples the risk of dementia. It also says that people with a severe hearing impairment are five times more likely to develop dementia. Cindy Marino-Barnett, COO and Hearing Instrument Specialist for over 19 years at Southwestern Hearing Centers, is here to tell us more about how hearing and health are connected.
Cindy explains that the connection between hearing and health ranges from cognitive decline to balance issues, social isolation, dementia, and hearing.
