Scientists from Russia noted that hearing loss indicates an early sign of dementia.

Doctor of Medical Sciences Maria Cherdak spoke about this in more detail during a conversation with representatives of the Izvestia publication.

As the doctor explained, older men and women may begin to have poor hearing not because of pathologies, but the problem may be hidden in a disruption in information processing at the brain level.

As a result, deafness does not bother you all the time, but only periodically.

For example, if a person loses interest in the topic of conversation, as well as in situations when he does not want to accept some information.

The neurologist explained that the disorder is caused by difficulty recognizing addressed speech, when a man or woman periodically turns up the volume on the TV to make out monologues and dialogues.

If such a problem occurs, you should immediately contact a doctor.
