Changing the Conversation About Hearing & Dementia to Drive Positive Action

Presenters: Dr Helen Henshaw, Principal Research Fellow. NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, University of Nottingham and Dr Hannah Semeraro, Head of Insight and Evidence, RNID

Description: This talk explores the connection between dementia and hearing loss, examining the potential underlying mechanisms. We’ll discuss how shared symptoms can complicate diagnosis and review current research on interventions and management. Stigma and attitudes toward hearing loss remain barriers to people getting their hearing checked. To encourage people to take action we must carefully frame messaging around these conditions. This session highlights the importance of communicating the right messaging to drive positive behaviour change.
