## Resource

Can hearing aids prevent dementia? Hearing instrument specialist Madison Levine joins Rosa Hart to explore the connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline, and why treating your hearing early may be one of the most important things you can do for your brain health and longevity. Madison founded "Levine Hearing" 11 years ago, building on her mother's 35-year legacy in audiology. She now leads a full clinical team offering hearing diagnostics, hearing aid fittings, ear hygiene, tinnitus care, and vestibular services, while speaking at national conventions to advance public awareness of hearing health. In this episode you will learn why untreated hearing loss is linked to dementia and cognitive decline, how the ear-brain connection affects memory and longevity, what is driving the stigma around hearing aids and how that stigma is shifting, which innovations are expanding access to hearing care, and why early detection and treatment change long-term outcomes.
