What is Cognitive Decline?

Cognitive decline is the gradual decrease in mental abilities over time. Simply put, as people get older, their brain functions slow down.

For example, older individuals might take longer to learn new things or remember information compared to younger ones. This is considered normal.

However, some experience this decline more rapidly, leading to significant issues like Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, and stroke.

Cognitive Decline & Hearing Loss

Research shows a strong link between hearing loss and cognitive decline. Both conditions share many of the same risk factors, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and obesity.

Moreover, untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation and depression – two significant risk factors for cognitive decline.

Immediate Memory

Allows you to work with information without losing track of what you’re doing

Working Memory

Allows you to collect, process, store and recall information from your environment 

Attention

Allows you to actively process information around you while tuning out other details

Executive Function

Allows you to plan, monitor, and execute your goals, be it  simple or complex ones

As part of your annual health screening, the DBFS tracks changes in brain function over time, allowing you and your doctor to make lifestyle changes or intervene before any decline becomes serious.
