Event
This event has ended
Hearing health plays an important role in helping you maintain your balance.
Our webinar will empower attendees to:
- Analyze the relationship between hearing loss and balance.
- Describe how hearing loss is associated to cognitive decline.
- Understand the importance of hearing screenings among older adults as an action to reduce falls risk.
Presenter Brady S. Workman, staff audiologist for the Balance Disorders and Audiology Programs at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, will talk about the links between hearing loss and falls risk, hearing loss and cognitive decline, and age-related hearing and vestibular decline. He'll outline strategies to lower these risks with the primary goal of reducing falls and promoting healthy aging.
