Think minor hearing loss is no big deal? Think again --

Recent studies suggest that hearing loss and dementia can be linked -- and the link is statistically significant. So if you can't hear? Check into hearing aids, because it may make a difference in more ways than you expect!

That's a really interesting study. My husband's cognitive problems started when he began to lose his hearing, but I didn't think to wonder if they might be related. He does have a hearing aid, but I'm not sure how much it helps the rest of his brain. Thanks for the pointer.

It is possible that hearing loss can be caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C in the diet.
