On this week’s episode of The Better Brain Fitness podcast, we tackled an excellent question from listener Rick B.
Rick had recently been diagnosed with hearing loss, and was wondering when would be the best time to get hearing aids.
It’s a great question, because you could make a case for getting them early, and you could make the case for waiting.
So, in this episode, we discuss:
the research around hearing loss and its connection to dementia,
the impact of hearing aids on cognitive function, and
how the research in this area lends further support to the Demand-Driven model of cognitive decline and dementia that we’ve put forth.

And remember, if you have a question you’d like for us to tackle, submit it to us. You can do so by text or voice.
I’ll be back next week with a new issue of The Brainjo Connection. See you then!
