Have you considered how much your hearing health affects your overall well-being and quality of life? For the majority of people, hearing loss is very gradual and can go unnoticed for years. Several health conditions can increase your risk of hearing loss. Some of them are: diabetes, hypertension, heart health, cancer treatments, and dementia. Aging also brings cognitive processing problems that can interfere with communication and can lead to memory loss, increased risk of falling and other accidents. Center for Hearing always recommends taking a proactive approach towards your hearing health. We’ll work together to help you hear your best.
