Untreated hearing loss has been linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease—but why does this connection exist?
In this video, Dr. Shaina Stapleton, Au.D., explains the science behind the hearing–brain connection, including how reduced auditory input, increased listening effort, and social withdrawal may contribute to changes in brain function over time. We’ll also discuss what current research does—and does not—say about hearing loss and dementia risk, and what steps may help protect long-term brain health.
This video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition.
👂 Topics covered include:
• Hearing loss and brain health
• Cognitive load and listening effort
• Social isolation and dementia risk
• What hearing aids may and may not do
• When to seek a hearing evaluation
