A recent article published in the Lancet journal in 2024 identified hearing loss, tied with high LDL cholesterol, as the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia. This TED-style course will provide participants with actionable ways to talk about these findings in the clinic, along with evidence-based hearing aid fitting tips for individuals with cognitive decline.
This course is part of the 2025 Industry Innovations Summit.
