Our new Podcast titled "Treating Hearing Loss as Preventive Medicine for Brain Health"

Listen to our new Podcast entitled "Treating Hearing Loss as Preventive Medicine for Brain Health". Learn about the findings of all recent research, which show us the importance of supporting the sense of hearing, both at younger ages for the linguistic, cerebral and psycho-emotional functions of children, and in the 3rd age for maintaining the integrity of the brain's neural networks, thus protecting against cognitive decline and dementia!

 

"Hearing loss is actually a neurological disease, and in fact the most common and affects 1.5 billion people worldwide" emphasize the members of the Scientific Committee of Earton Services, Anastasios (Tasos) Kikerakis | Scientific Advisor | Graduate of the Medical School - University of Crete and Christina Tabakaki | Speech Therapist - Clinical Audiologist with Specialization in Pediatric Hearing Loss | Graduate in Speech Therapy - PAPEL | Postgraduate in Audiology - UCL (UK), analyzing in the following video-podcast the reasons why hearing restoration contributes substantially both to the development of children's cognitive abilities and to the slowing down of the onset of dementia in older people.

 

Among other things, they state that the auditory pathway is one of the driving forces that will lead to brain development in children, as hearing is directly involved in the development of speech and not only.

On the other hand, as noted, studies have shown that auditory restoration in adults slows down the loss of thinking and memory by 48% over a period of three years.

See in detail what Mr. Kikerakis and Ms. Tabakakis, on the effects that hearing loss can have on the brain and how they can be prevented:
