Synopsis: Awareness about the connection between hearing loss and dementia can help minimize the risks of dementia. Hearing loss is one of the most significant risk factors for dementia, accounting for 8% of all cases, and several studies have shown that hearing loss appears to double the risk of dementia. In Etchings of the Mind, Dr. Wilson embarks on a fascinating and entertaining journey on the what, how, and why of hearing loss and its connection to dementia. In this easy-to-read, informative book, tips and illustrations show what we can do to protect ourselves against dementia while maximizing the quality of our lives.
