What was said
"They named untreated hearing loss as the single largest modifiable risk factor for dementia."
Gary Brecka and Brandon Sawalich discussed a peer-reviewed Lancet study identifying untreated hearing loss as the number one modifiable risk factor for dementia, surpassing diet, exercise, and other interventions. The study was a large-scale, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. This positions hearing health as a critical yet overlooked longevity intervention.
