Hearing Loss and Dementia


I have already written about the so far poorly understood link between hearing loss and dementia.
In the last year or so more articles have appeared in reliable health journals and newspapers about this. Unfortunately, we still don't know why and the connection between these two conditions is still there. The New York Times  published an article adapted from the book Shouting Won’t Help: Why I — and 50 Million Other Americans — Can’t Hear You,”  by Katherine Bouton.
A salient point in this article is the fact that it's not clear whether hearing aids can help stop this deterioration.
