Free Cognitive Testing For a Limited Time
Feb 12, 2021
Did you know that people with hearing loss are at an increased risk for developing cognitive decline and dementia? That's why we now offer cognitive testing.
At Hearing Doctors, we pride ourselves on staying up-to-date with the latest technology, research, and treatment practices. That’s why we’ve chosen to equip our offices with easy-to-use cognitive screening through Cognivue®. But what does cognitive screening have to do with your hearing loss? |  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hearing Loss and Cognitive Decline - Is There a Connection? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Did you know that individuals with hearing loss are at an increased risk for developing cognitive decline and dementia? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 | When you live with untreated hearing loss, the parts of your brain responsible for hearing and comprehension aren’t being used to their maximum capacity. Over time they begin to lose functionality, and the longer they go with diminished use, the more functionality is lost. As the saying goes, “use it or lose it!” |  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wearing hearing aids can help keep those parts of the brain active and strong, which can help maintain your memory and cognitive function. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New research finds treating hearing loss is the single most modifiable risk factor for reducing the risk of dementia. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| While your risk of cognitive decline increases with the degree of hearing loss, it is important to note that even mild hearing loss can double your risk of dementia! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Advantage of Early Cognitive Screening | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At Hearing Doctors, hearing and cognition go hand in hand. Offering Cognivue® screening as part of an overall hearing healthcare plan can help us detect cognitive decline in the early stages when it can be treated or slowed. |  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Process | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cognitive testing is easy, painless, and takes only a few minutes. Your Cognivue® evaluation will be self-administered at a private station. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1) During your screening, a computerized system evaluates your memory, visuospatial, and executive function and also measures your reaction time and speed processing. |   | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
