The facts are staggering. Scientific studies have shown that people with hearing loss have up to a 500 percent higher risk of dementia (including Alzheimer’s), as well as serious falls and clinical depression. Today, around six million Americans have Alzheimer’s—a number that is only expected to increase and overwhelm the healthcare system in the next five to seven years.
In a groundbreaking presentation, Dr. Robert Keefer relies on 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry and the results of his meticulous research to offer insights on how to correct outdated Medicare policies, improve US hearing healthcare, and ensure well-performing hearing aids for everyone in need. After detailing why people with hearing loss don’t use hearing aids, he leads us on a journey into the world of these tiny medical devices, the US hearing healthcare matrix, the technology, and costs surrounding hearing aids, stories of those with hearing loss, wisdom from audiologists in their own words, and ways to advocate for changes that save hundreds of billions of dollars in healthcare expenses.
The Alzheimer’s/Hearing Aid Paradox shares insights and facts from a hearing aid industry insider that point the way to lowering the risk and cost of Alzheimer’s by providing hearing aids for everyone in need.
