HEALTH ALERT! HEALTH ALERT! HEARING LOSS and DEMENTIA LINKED
If hearing loss goes untreated, a condition called “auditory deprivation” occurs. This has been confirmed by scientific studies. Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing, a study by Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging researchers suggests. The findings, the researchers say, could lead to new ways to combat dementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although the reason for the link between the two conditions is unknown, the investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.
WARNING!
But th But ther ere’s good news! Wh there’s Whatever the cause, the scientists report, their finding may offer a starting point for interventions even as simple as hearing aids.
DON’T IGNORE the WARNING SIGNS 1. Difficulty hearing in noisy situations, like restaurants. 2. Trouble understanding women’s and children’s voices. 3. Often ask people to repeat themselves.
If you’ve experienced any of the above, get your hearing tested immediately.

Malissa Morgan is the right choice for School Board! She is a hands-on person who is active in the schools and the community. Malissa is a no nonsense leader and believes in approaching all issues with knowledge and inquiry. Her educational background with 17 years’ experience in education and direct business experience as a steward of fiscal accountability will be an asset to the Okeechobee School District’s students, parents, teachers, schools and citizens. “As an experienced educator I know first hand the state mandates that our schools are facing. As a parent I have compassion and a personal understanding for our students that are not “high stakes test takers.” With that understanding I have the motivation and passion to go to Tallahassee and advocate on behalf of our students, schools and community. I will be the board member who is constantly striving to ensure that our children, who are our future, have the best by putting our students first. My passion is access to quality education, and my motivation is our students, our future!” POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT PAID FOR AND APPROVED BY MALISSA MORGAN FOR SCHOOL BOARD
