In this essential episode of Around the Table with Vickie, I’m joined by Tim and Veronica Bratton of Soundz Hearing in Lynchburg. Together, we unpack the signs of hearing loss, why it often goes undiagnosed, and how it’s deeply connected to cognitive health—including dementia.We also talk about how to approach a loved one who may be struggling with hearing loss and why early intervention can change everything. If you've ever wondered when it’s time to get a hearing check—or how to have that delicate conversation—this episode will give you the tools and understanding to take the next step with confidence and compassion.
