Join us for this 40 minute presentation about hearing loss in adults. The presentation will be followed by a 20 minute Q & A session.
Hearing loss acquired in adult life can have serious consequences for individuals who experience it, as well as their loved ones. We know that hearing loss has a negative impact on social, psychological, cognitive, and physical health. What you may not know is that hearing aids are not the only solution for individuals with hearing loss.
