Dr. Greg Cooper:

Hi, this is Greg Cooper. I just finished interviewing Kerry Sheets for this week's Neurology Podcast. For today's Neurology Minute, I'm hoping you can tell us the main points of your paper.

Dr. Kerry Sheets:

The central message of our paper is that hearing aid use in adults aged 70 years or older with hearing impairment may reduce dementia risk over 7 years. Results for the impact of hearing aid use on cognitive decline were less.

Dr. Greg Cooper:

Well, thank you for that summary and for all of your work on this topic. Please check out this week's podcast to hear the full interview and read the full article published in Neurology: Treating Hearing Loss with Hearing Aids for the Prevention of Cognitive Decline and Dementia.
