Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, yes, it does, doesn’t it? But this time there might be something to it.  Granted, while coffee won’t necessarily ensure a long-distance relationship with your healthcare team, science is uncovering some attractive benefits to consuming between 3-5 eight-ounce cups of coffee per day.

Fedup with Feedback? 6 Reasons Your Hearing Aids Are Squealing & How to Silence It

Do You Need an Audiologist Or an Attitude Adjustment?

In this article, we'll look at steps you can take to begin accepting that your hearing might not be what it once was.

I want to make sure you know where to begin if you're fed up and ready to make a life-giving change. I also include a few self-assessment tests I recommend and trust to help you in this process.

3 Ways Teleaudiology Will Improve Your Life
3 Ways Teleaudiology Will Improve Your Life

Now you may still be cringing at the idea and reluctant to entertain the thought of figuring out how to actually use technology in this way, but let me assure you, it’s easier than it seems. And if you try it, well, you might just like it.

My business model for the last 17 years has been all about serving you in your hearing place. Getting to interact with you while assessing your hearing needs is the highlight of the job for me and I know the feeling is mutual. Social distancing has stolen this joy from us - Lord willing it will be short-lived.

But I have to admit, being forced into the 21st century’s technology has been a game-changer for me personally and professionally. Humor me a moment and I’ll show you why I think you might just come to embrace it too.

Hearing Loss and Dementia: What You Need To Know To Win the Battle
Hearing Loss and Dementia: What You Need To Know To Win the Battle

Let’s get right to the nitty-gritty, shall we?

Studies estimate that if you have mild hearing loss, which is only a hearing loss of 20 to 40 decibels, you are twice as likely to develop dementia. But if you have a moderate hearing loss of 41 to 60 decibels, you are five times more likely to develop dementia.[11]

Why? Well, study after study proves that hearing difficulties are directly related to challenges with cognition, and as hearing loss worsens, most likely, so will your cognitive function.

It’s essential to keep in mind that decreased cognitive function does not necessarily mean you have dementia as a result of your hearing loss. But it doesn’t rule it out either, which is why it is so important to have a team of medical providers who will work together and take a holistic approach to assess your health.
