Dr. Justin Golub, Associate Professor and Vice Chair of Faculty Development in the Department of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery at Columbia University, will address the nature of the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive decline. What does an “association” mean? What is the evidence that hearing aids can reduce the risk, and if so, why?
Is it a matter of increased cognitive effort, or might it be explained by something else? He will discuss recent research findings as well as future developments.
