@inaselita: dementia prevention starts earlier than you think. hearing loss has consistently been associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. we’re still trying to figure out why or how but what we know is when auditory information is degraded, the brain dvotes more cognitive resources to understanding speech. noise induced hearing loss is permanent and preventable.. so make sure to wearing hearing protection at loud events and in other areas where your ears are getting more than they need. #audiology #hearingloss #hearingprotection #dementia #brainhealth
