Ep. #81 Dr. King's Guide to Audiology and Cognitive Health

What if the key to preventing cognitive decline was as simple as addressing hearing loss? Join us as we chat with Dr. Allison King from Palmetto Family Hearing Center in Waxhaw about the profound impact of hearing health on our overall well-being. Inspired by her mother's work as a speech-language pathologist, Dr. King found her passion in audiology, dedicating her career to helping individuals reclaim their auditory world. We explore the personalized care offered by her small practice and dive into the cutting-edge advancements in hearing aid technology, including Bluetooth-enabled devices and the virtually invisible Lyric. Learn why early detection and baseline hearing tests are crucial for proactive hearing health.

Dr. King also shares enlightening insights on the often-overlooked link between untreated hearing loss and dementia, underscoring the importance of professional care over DIY solutions. Discover how regular hearing aid testing and recalibration can optimize their performance, similar to updating prescription glasses. We also tackle earbud safety, focusing on volume control to prevent damage.
