Evidence-Based Care

It is always a good time to highlight the critical role hearing plays in overall well-being. As hearing health care professionals, the team at Hear for You recognizes that hearing loss extends beyond auditory challenges; it has significant implications for cognitive function and quality of life.
Hearing loss itself is a well-established risk factor for cognitive decline. Research from Johns Hopkins indicates that individuals with mild hearing loss have a twofold Increased risk of dementia, with the risk rising to threefold and fivefold for moderate and severe cases, respectively. Early intervention is key, as hearing aid use has been associated with a 48 percent lower risk of cognitive decline, according to a 2023 study. Tinnitus, the perception of ringing in the ears, affects 10-15 percent of adults, with prevalence increasing with age. While often dismissed as a minor nuisance, tinnitus is linked to heightened stress, sleep disturbances and even cognitive overload. Studies suggest that persistent tinnitus increases the brain’ s cognitive demand, potentially diverting resources from memory and executive function tasks.
Drs. Kelly Cedor and Sara Nadeau provide evidence-based care to address hearing loss, tinnitus and related cognitive implications. By offering comprehensive hearing evaluations, customized treatment plans, and patient education, they empower patients to take control of their auditory and cognitive health.
