The Connection Between Untreated Hearing Loss and Dementia
A study by Johns Hopkins expert Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., and his colleagues tracked 639 adults over nearly 12 years and found significant links between hearing loss and dementia risk.
Their research shows that:
- Mild hearing loss doubles dementia risk
- Moderate hearing loss triples dementia risk
- Severe hearing loss increases the risk of developing dementia fivefold
Schedule a Zoom Call With Our Audiologists
For patients with specific needs or for your team to better understand the challenges faced by individuals with hearing difficulties, a virtual workshop or consultation may be beneficial.
Schedule a Zoom call with the Jacobs Audiology team, and we will arrange a convenient time for you.
