Recent studies have shown that hearing loss is linked to accelerated brain tissue loss, accelerates brain function decline and contributes to falls. We recommend that a “Hearing Wellness Program” be started with hearing exams for all patients beginning at 60yrs of age. In this way a base line of what a patient’s hearing is can be known. By having patients receive the hearing exam beginning at age sixty, patients and their physicians can determine what steps should be taken to maintain hearing wellness. Naturally, any patient showing signs of hearing loss at any age should promptly be referred for a thorough hearing exam so their results can be discussed with their physician.
