In-practice hearing care. If not now, when?
With the growing number of aging patients in the healthcare system, comes an urgent call for progressive practitioners who realize proactive hearing care is part of preventative healthcare and improved patient healthspan. Especially now that studies have tied untreated hearing loss to a multitude of illnesses and comorbidities – from stroke and diabetes to depression and cognitive decline. In fact, adults with hearing loss have a 35% higher risk of developing dementia.
Only 12% of physicians routinely test for hearing loss
