Hearing loss is never normal at any age
You don’t know what you don’t hear
Untreated hearing loss is related to the onset of Dementia. The more hearing loss we have, and the longer it goes untreated, the more likely someone is to Dementia compared to those with normal hearing. A research article from a 2011 study performed at Johns Hopkins University by Dr. Frank Lin is available in our patient resources page. There, you can read how researchers in the study determined that hearing loss and Dementia are strongly connected even after accounting for other risk factors such as Diabetes, high blood pressure, and age.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so grateful to have Dr Leigh Smith as my audiologist. She took her time giving me a comprehensive hearing test and found specifically what hearing loss I have in each ear. She explained the findings and fitted me with new hearing aides. The minute I put them on I was astounded at the quality of hearing. I’ve had them about 2 weeks now and my tinnitus has improved as well. Dr Leigh made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. I will be recommending Florida Audiology to anyone who needs a quality hearing test and hearing aides. My life is so much better with these hearing aides that Dr Leigh personally programmed for my needs.
