We would like to invite you to attend a complimentary CME-endorsed webinar designed to help doctors understand the link between hearing loss and dementia and how this may affect your patients.
Presented by Jo Ritchie, a Senior Audiologist at Dilworth Hearing, this webinar will provide an overview for GPs on how hearing loss is linked to dementia and how new research suggests addressing hearing loss can help slow cognitive decline. It will also provide a summary of the indicators of hearing loss and understanding management options.
In addition to 1 CPD point, Participants will walk away with a good understanding of:
- The link between hearing loss and dementia
- How hearing aid use can slow cognitive decline in older adults
- The connection between hearing loss, social isolation and loneliness
- The signs of hearing loss and understanding rehabilitation options
