Hearing loss increases the risk of developing dementia in later years. In this episode of ISTAART Voices, researchers Dr. Joshua Stevenson-Hoare and Dr. Kouki Tomida dissect the ways in which hearing loss may accelerate dementia progression. Through studies conducted in Germany and Japan, their works explore how early hearing difficulties and reduced conversation could signal future cognitive decline, offering compelling perspectives on early intervention and prevention strategies.

Special thanks to ISTAART Ambassador Michelle Chiu for her contributions to the production of this episode of ISTAART Voices.
