I’ve been less active on social media (and generally less present even in-person) over the last year+ for a reason. Check-in on those in your lives who are actively providing care for their older loved ones! #GeroTwitter #caregiving

But often their work goes unseen and unacknowledged, and they experience a number of stressors that take a toll on health.

“Brain scans show us that hearing loss may contribute to a faster rate of atrophy in the brain,” said @JHSPH_Hearing's @DrFrankRLin. “Hearing loss also contributes to social isolation. ... These factors may contribute to dementia.” deseret.com/2023/11/14/23960…

Mild hearing loss and falls often go together

Experts say wearing hearing aids may help with balance and prevent dangerous falls
