Description

Even mild hearing loss can have serious consequences for people’s brains and daily lives. When hearing declines, listening requires more effort. Making sense of what is heard becomes harder, increasing stress and overall mental load. Over time, this can lead to fatigue and a tendency to withdraw from conversations when listening feels challenging. This lecture provides practical information on finding the right support for your hearing to help keep your brain functioning at its best. Take-home materials are provided.
