21 September Meeting - 10:00 AM to Noon
Hearing Loss and Dementia
Research shows that if caught early enough, dementia can be prevented or delayed in 45% of cases by addressing modifiable risk factors. According to the 2024 Lancet, the #1 modifiable risk factor is untreated hearing loss. As hearing health care providers,we can help patients live longer, healthier lives. The ACHIEVE study shows data on the positive impact treating hearing loss can have on cognition.
David Lisko, Au.D.will discuss how Cognivue has made a huge impact in hearing health care as it pertains to audition and cognition of our patients, and how hearing health care providers can help make an even bigger impact on the lives of patients and their families. He will discuss how hearing healthproviders can implement cognitive screening into their practices without any hint of scare tactics, how to present results to a patient in a kind and professional way, how to garner more physician referrals by incorporating cognitive screening, and how to be viewed as more of a medical model due to incorporating more testing to their everyday test batteries.
