September is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

Did you know that looking after your hearing is also looking after your brain health? Midlife hearing loss has emerged as one of the biggest preventable risk factors for dementia with research showing that even mild hearing loss can double dementia risk.

The good news is that is means by looking after our hearing we may be able to protect our long-term brain health and overall wellbeing.

This month, we’re joining the call to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s and to encourage everyone to care for both their hearing and brain health.

If you or someone you love has noticed changes in hearing, now is a great time to book a hearing check. A small step for your ears can be a big step for your mind.

Let’s start the conversation — for healthier hearing, healthier minds, and stronger connections.

We’re also very proud of Dr Melissa Babbage, one of our Audiologists, who presented today on the important topic of hearing loss and dementia.
