Home Care for Elderly and Senior in San Gabriel Valley

Katherine Boutin of the New York Times describes an embarrassing experience at a dinner party. Katherine wears a cochlear implant. Struggling to understand the words of her conversation partner- an author she admired- she was unable to recall the titles of his works. According to science, this hearing loss related to memory loss could be a common occurrence for select seniors. This phenomenon is called a "cognitive load" when the brain is preoccupied by translating sounds into words loses the processing power to search for a response. Furthermore, there is a strong connection between hearing loss and Alzheimers. Learn more about this sad connection here.

If a loved one has started to display signs of memory loss, we encourage you to take him/her to a doctor. Oftentimes, memory loss is a simple byproduct of aging but sometimes can be a sign of Alzheimer.
