Hearing Loss link with Dementia

Clinical Director Paul Checkley was interviewed by Global News after a new, international study concluded that up to a third of dementia cases might be preventable; with hearing loss being the TOP modifiable dementia risk.

The findings from an international commission of 24 leading experts from around the world were published in the prestigious journal, The Lancet.
