Age Well: Understanding & Managing Age-Related Hearing Loss
from Road Scholar
Hearing loss is a common part of aging, but it’s not always easy to spot or talk about. Join auditory cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Anna-Katharina Bauer to better understand age-related hearing loss, how it differs from other types of hearing changes and why it often goes undiagnosed. Learn about early warning signs, try simple at-home hearing checks and explore strategies and technologies that can help improve communication in daily life, whether for yourself or a loved one.
