Hearing Loss and its Effect on the Brain, Cognitive Function and Social Relationships

Are you the one saying “What” lately ?

Chronic hearing impairment becomes very common as one ages. The National Institute on Aging reports that one in three adults aged 65-74 has hearing loss and nearly half of those 75+ have difficulty hearing, but it is often under-recognized and inadequately addressed.

Hearing loss can negatively affect your brain’s auditory cortex. Cognitive abilities (memory and thinking) may decline faster in people with hearing loss. It is easier and better for the brain if you try to correct hearing loss sooner rather than later.


Learn about the many ways hearing loss can be corrected through hearing aids, other amplification options, and better communication techniques.


Join us to hear Professor Meg Wallhagen, PhD of UCSF to learn about hearing loss, its effect on the brain, cognitive functioning, and social relationships.

We are a community-based network of people over age 50 who are united by our desire to remain in our own homes as we get older.

Ashby Village launched in 2010 after many discussions and community meetings that began in 2007. We are residents of Berkeley, Albany, Kensington, El Cerrito, Richmond and Oakland who are united by our desire to remain in our own homes as we get older. Because we know that we may increasingly need assistance and support as we age we pool resources by paying membership dues and volunteering our skills and time to support the Village infrastructure and to assist one another.
