Yes, the research findings discovered that being visually impaired or having hearing loss puts biological neurological stress on the brain which contributes to the likeliness of the development of Dementia. If one can use a hearing aid or glasses that reduced the cognitive neurological “stress” on the brain.
How about we tell the public services like police, ambulance, fire department, that our hearing is important to us and cut this crap out about running through packed streets with your sirens blaring for no reason at all.
Hmm. What about deaf and blind people? Because they have these conditions, they are at risk for dementia? Not sure if I buy that. But the high LDL cholesterol makes sense.
Another factor that we have known in these recent years is that studying and graduating in epidemiology produces a massive dementia. At the moment, there is not any known remedy.
My father was deaf. He knew it but absolutely refused to wear hearing aids. We eventually had to put him in a nursing home. He couldn’t hear the tv and hated the closed captions. He lasted 6 months before he passed away. He felt so isolated, but it was his own doing. I felt so awful. He just gave up. 😢😢😢💔
The woman who said "None of us is old" inadvertently displayed a wisp of ageism. She also did not exactly look particularly young nor did her fellow-interviewer.
