How Hearing Loss Affects Your Brain
Presentation by Dr. Julie Ambrose
When we think of hearing loss we may think of people who turn up the TV too loud, who ask you to repeat yourself, and have trouble following conversations in noisy places. But the effects of hearing loss go much deeper than that, affecting the functioning of the brain. Dr. Julie Ambrose, Ascent Audiology & Hearing, , will address these issue in a Center for Lifelong Learning program scheduled for:
Tuesday, March 13 at 1:30 PM in Clubhouse 1 Chesapeake Room
There is no charge for the program, but residents are requested to register with E&R office in Clubhouse 1 to obtain their admission ticket.
During this lively presentation Dr. Ambrose will discuss:
• How prolonged hearing loss can result in dementia.
• How hearing loss is linked to depression and anxiety
• Other health ramifications of hearing loss.
• How many patients with hearing loss are misdiagnosed with a variety of other conditions.
• How a simple hearing screening can get to the root of the problem and point to effective solutions.
