# 208 | The Dementia/Hearing Loss Correlation: How to protect oneself - iHeart Cinci with Sandy Collins

When you begin to lose hearing, either gradually or quickly, your brain has to work overtime, filling in the blanks of what it doesn't understand, struggling to separate noises from voices, and eventually begins to atrophy, causing permanent damage. That in turn affects millions of people who develop Dementia. My guests today are Dr. Stephanie Grace, a Phonak audiologist and Dr. Jennifer Katafiasz, Owner of Apex Hearing Group, discussing prevention and treatment options and the importance of protecting your hearing.
