DO YOU

find yourself asking people to repeat themselves? According to new research from oxford university it could be an early sign of dementia. Those with ‘insufficient’ hearing in the study were 61 per cent more likely to be diagnosed than those with ‘normal’ hearing — those with ‘poor’ hearing were 91 per cent more likely. The more persuasive case is that problems with hearing result in the dementia. Many think this is due to the isolation being hard of hearing can bring, which means hearing aids can solve it. But research shows the time from the first symptoms to seeking help is typically ten years. If you’re having problems with your hearing, don’t delay — get a hearing aid.
