"According to the National Institute on Aging, hearing loss is one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline. Studies show that individuals with moderate hearing loss are twice as likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss face a fivefold increased risk. This connection is particularly alarming given that nearly 50 million Americans suffer from hearing loss. Additionally, 1.5 billion people worldwide experience tinnitus, a condition often linked to progressive degenerative disorders that may signal early cognitive decline."

The team is so incredibly proud of Dr. Michele Tisdale for presenting at the 2026 Kentucky EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) Summit! She highlighted the life-changing effects of mobile audiology—especially for infants and young children in schools around the state 👂
