Hi All,

I was glad to see that this discussion group was already on Connect. I just read a WebMD article this morning on this very topic and was interested in your thinking. Here is a link to that article. Would be interested in your thoughts.

@teresa, I can tell you that dementia is a big concern of mine. My dad is 90 and he has dementia. Hearing loss is on his fathers side so he was born with hearing loss. That gene was passed to me. I am okay with the hearing loss, probably because I know I'm doing as much as possible to help. My dads dementia has been very difficult to deal with. I wish there was something similar to a hearing aid that could at least help. I exercise my mind regularly in the hope that I outlive the onset of dementia.
