Supporting the brain in how it makes sense of sound has always been Susan’s vision and treatment plan for her patients. She believes that Oticon has a vision that is at the forefront of hearing care and will turn the new perspective in BrainHearing into a reality.
A hearing problem can become brain problems. Downgrading sound input to the brain and failing to treat the hearing loss in the correct way can have a variety of consequences.**
• Increased listening effort
With less sound information, it is harder for the brain to recognize sounds. It must fill in the gaps, which requires more listening effort.
• Increased mental load
Having to guess what people are saying and what is happening increases the mental load on the brain and leaves less mental capacity for remembering and performing.
Reorganized brain functionality
Without enough stimulation in the hearing center, the visual center and other senses start to compensate, which changes the function of the brain.
• Accelerated cognitive decline
Increased mental load, lack of stimulation and reorganized brain functionality is linked to accelerated cognitive decline, which affects the ability to remember, learn, concentrate, and make decisions.
• Accelerated brain volume shrinkage
All human brains reduce in size with age, but the shrinkage process accelerates when the brain must work against the natural way it processes sound.
And so, the brain problems can turn into life problems. A limited sound scene without access to the right input can lead to serious problems in life.***
• Social isolation and depression
People with untreated hearing loss can end up avoiding social gatherings because they are unable to cope with complex sound environments.
• Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
The risk for dementia increases fivefold for severe-to-profound hearing loss, three-fold for moderate hearing loss and two-fold for mild hearing loss.
• Poor balance and fall-related injuries
Untreated hearing loss can affect balance, increasing the risk of fallrelated injuries three-fold.
Susan is excited to share information regarding BrainHearing™ with you.
Susan Baker is the owner and operator of Advanced Hearing Services in Fort Collins. She has been helping people with hearing loss and Tinnitus for the past 21 years. Please call (970) 2215249 for an appointment today.

Deeply Rooted
With age comes wisdom
TREES, OUR QUIET companions in life, often help us view life with more clarity, providing perspective on this ‘second half of life’ path we travel... if we will take the time to look, listen and imagine.
A gravel county road north of my home has been my favorite running, jogging, and now walking path over the past 35 years... a route offering awesome views of the foothills and distant mountain peaks, passing pasture lands, old farm houses, barns, and newer estate homes...and very little vehicle traffic. Scattered about, especially along old irrigation canals and ditches, stand trees of various shapes and sizes. Most eye-catching are the towering cottonwood.
Two of these old cottonwood trees growing side by side along the route caught my attention this past year, ones I have traveled by for decades... yet noticed as if for the first time. During the previous winter months, my eyes drawn to their weathered gray trunk and branches, I saw clearly how both had lost the upper halves of their trunks as well as their largest branches, now modeling only smaller, newer branches reaching outward from the shortened main trunks. As summer emerged, I saw something much different...a thick deep green canopy, offering expansive shade and a song as leaves fluttered in the breeze. Could these be the same comrades I passed last winter?
How might these images speak to those of us who have been blessed to live into the second half of life. What might it say about how we can live, what we can offer into our later years when we have given up, or eventually will give up, some degree of our younger vigor and strength... even literally having lost physical parts of ourselves?
These old cottonwoods suggest our very nature does not change. We may continue to offer our gifts to others, our community and the world. Maybe not as towering or as intense, but we can still express, still spring to life with ‘deep green leaves’ up to the end of our days. And when we focus on the ‘life giving leaves’ that still contribute to the health of the air we breathe, the hearts of those with whom we come in contact, the ‘missing branches’ and the ‘half trunks’ become not the main focus. Roots still run deep. Wisdom continues to grow.
Invitation
Bob Calhoun
Life is short. We each have yet little time; yet time is what we have, ferrying us to this very moment, with an invitation to come inside and receive the gift.
May we show up and accept time’s bidding, tending to one another as we enter, encouraging each other to ride the crest of the wave before it breaks, embrace the warmth of sunlight as it bathes us, allowing not the setting sun to dip without notice, night’s first star to shine without welcome.
