brainXchange webinar: Hearing and Cognitive Health: Reducing Dementia Risk and Optimizing Functioning and Care
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
Half of Canadians will have a hearing loss by 75 years of age. Hearing loss increases the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Those with combined hearing loss and cognitive impairment are at increased risk for declines in everyday functioning and entry into long-term care. Importantly, hearing loss is the largest potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia. This presentation will describe the connections between hearing loss and cognitive decline, with an emphasis on what could be done to help reduce the risk of dementia and optimize everyday functioning and care.
This integrated KTE webinar event is brought to you by brainXchange in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).
