Скачать или смотреть Hearing Health and Aging: What Gary Cote Wants You to Know

Audiologist Gary Cote stresses the need for individuals to remain aware of the importance of proactive monitoring of your hearing and the potential impact this will have on their health as they age. He discusses how establishing your baseline level of hearing function at approximately age 65 and obtaining yearly follow-up tests allow you and your hearing care provider to find out how stable or declining your hearing is over time. He highlights the value of having regular evaluations by citing the findings from the Johns Hopkins study of adults who were followed from their mid-60s into their 90s, which demonstrated the importance of regular evaluations for hearing care providers to detect changes in hearing as it continues to decline. Hearing health is part of your overall health and that you can make informed decisions about how best to care for your hearing health through education and awareness.
