The course may be of interest to anyone wishing to maintain healthy brain function and vitality.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that hearing-impaired individuals are at a higher risk for early brain dysfunction and potential dementia due to the lack of sound vibration to essential parts of the brain. Over time, and if one does not utilize hearing instrument support, the brain has been shown to atrophy due to the lack of neuropathway stimulation. This affects areas of the brain that control memory, balance, sound processing and behavior. Often cognitive decline and hearing loss occur in parallel. The brain has to work harder to attend to diminished hearing and may borrow cognitive tasks from other parts of the brain, especially memory. This reorganization may cause social deprivation and accelerate cognitive decline.

Social isolation and loneliness has an enormous impact on one’s health. Loneliness and seclusion can lead to depression and connection. For those of us with hearing loss, engaging in social activities can be stressful and daunting and become a further spiral into seclusion. Social engagement and support is a critical secret component to living a long and healthy life and acts as a buffer against illness and cognitive decline. Social connectedness increases resistance to disease as depression may be a conduit for expression of illnesses. With strong social ties, it has been found that we are more nourished as our spirit is fed, and it brings more meaning into each day.
During the time we spend together, we will have organic opportunities to connect with one another. The small group provides a comfortable setting to address and explore the many challenges we face and find ways to assuage the stressors of our lives with proven tools and exercises that we can apply in our daily lives with ease.
