Dave Fabry, Ph.D.: Hearing Loss & Dementia, An Update
Description
Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult reunites with expert and friend, Dave Fabry, Ph.D., the Chief Hearing Health Officer at Starkey. The two catch up on Karla's ongoing transition to life with hearing aids (spoiler alert: she can now hear the responses of her strong, sassy and beloved teen daughters). Most importantly, Dr. Dave dives into the latest research related to hearing loss and dementia.
You can find discussions related to the dementia disparity -- which is rmentioned again in this conversation -- in previous episodes:
- Dr. Shekinah Fashaw-Walters first shared the historic and recent reasons for the disparity; while
- Robbin Frazier highlighted a powerful new program designed to address that gap.
Dr. Dave and Karla also reference The Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders, or ACHIEVE, study. You can learn more about that study's findings and other details here.
As always, if you're enjoying these conversations, please review, subscribe and share "Hello Alzheimer's" with those you believe may benefit. We SO appreciate your support.
And one last reminder: You are not alone.
