interdisciplinary efforts to link hearing and hearing loss to brain function so that new tests and interventions can be designed.A challenge in science is that traditionally trained neuroscientists often lack knowledge in the areas of sound transduction (peripheral mechanisms and prostheses) and clinical...
This study is just one of many that prove how important it is to prioritize ourhearing health-brain healthconnection as we grow older. After all, the connections we lose through untreated hearing loss can have a detrimental effect on cognition: When we have difficulty hearing and communicating, ...
The Brain-Music Connection Johns Hopkins researchers have had dozens of jazz performers and rappers improvise musicwhile lying down inside an fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) machine to watch and see which areas of their brains light up. “Music is structural, mathematical and architectural...
so much of human connection relies on sound. Hearing loss limits our ability to engage fully in social settings. We may avoid group activities or withdraw from friends and family if we can't keep up with a conversation. Untreated hearing loss leads many ...
Several studies have indicated that there is a connection between hearing loss, brain function decline and loss of brain tissue. Cognitive decline occurs as a natural part of aging, but older adults with hearing loss appear to lose brain mass at a faster rate than individuals with normal hearing...
We want you to understand your hearing and the connection from the ear to the brain. Any challenges or difficulties you experience will be explained. Know what to expect To be confident in your decision, you need understand all the options. We will discuss how every option will impact yo...
To better understand the connection, a team of University of California San Diego and Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute researchers employed hearing tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine whether hearing impairment is associated with differences in specific brain regions...
This social isolation can lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and often cognitive decline. While this may seem like an easy point to start from when considering the connection between hearing aids and brain function, let’s take a closer look at the science and studies first....
