A question we sometimes get from patients is why we incorporate cognitive screenings as part of our hearing evaluations here at First Coast Audiology? Well, here's the scoop!
🔹As part of a national effort to do early screening for cognitive impairment, we are leading the way by screening in our hearing evaluations.
🔹Hearing loss is the number 1 modifiable risk factor for dementia.
🔹Hearing loss is associated with accelerated cognitive decline and incident cognitive impairment in older adults.
🔹Treating hearing loss with hearing aids may positively impact cognitive decline and may improve quality of life over time.
We'll be posting more information about our cognitive screenings using Cognivue! Stay tuned!📻
