Randy Romberg tells us there is hope for many of us to hear better!!!

He related to us that according to several major studies, older

adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop Alzheimer's

disease and dementia, compared to those with normal hearing.

Further, the risk escalates as a person's hearing loss grows worse.

Those with mild hearing impairment are nearly twice as likely to

develop dementia compared to those with normal hearing. The

risk increases three-fold for those with moderate hearing loss,

and five-fold for those with severe impairment.

All-in-all a very interesting presentation.

We might do well to get a free hearing test at his Zounds® Hearing

Center in Seal Beach.
