 I have seen that so many times when the family assumes that a person is having a cognitive problem when actually it's hearing. But hearing actually does affect cognition too. They are connected. Explain how that works. You actually are working your brain in overdrive, trying to understand the sounds around you, and it's pulling attention away from your frontal lobe. But it corrects. Once we put hearing aids on that person, that strain is not there anymore. You don't have that increased risk anymore.
