The #1 Dementia risk factor nobody talks about, and what to do

Get your free 5-step plan for hearing loss diagnosis and treatment: click here Hearing loss affects 1 in 5 people globally, increases the risk of developing dementia, and has no cure. An astonishing half a billion people have hearing loss, which impacts their ability to communicate and connect with others. Hearing loss cases are increasing fast, especially among younger people. For many, hearing aids and cochlear implants can be life-changing, but they can’t help everyone. But there is hope: Scientists around the world have been working tirelessly to develop NEW treatments for hearing loss. In this episode, Jonathan speaks to Dr. Marcelo Rivolta, a professor of sensory stem cell biology at Sheffield University. He’s on the cusp of a major breakthrough that could mean hearing loss becomes a thing of the past. What you’ll learn: Why hearing loss is becoming more common The shocking link between hearing loss and a 500% increased risk of dementia How modern headphones and loud concerts cause permanent, irreversible damage Why hearing loss can be more isolating than blindness The simple ways you can protect your hearing today How current technologies like hearing aids and cochlear implants work About the groundbreaking new science that could cure deafness using stem cells About Marcelo Rivolta Marcelo Rivolta is a Professor of Sensory Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield. For over two decades, his research has focused on the use of human stem cells for the understanding and treatment of hearing loss. His lab was the first to demonstrate that it was possible to create both auditory hair cells and neurons from stem cells, and his pioneering work is now moving towards clinical trials in humans.
