Audiologist Brian Taylor explains why untreated hearing loss leads to disorientation, confusion, and social disconnection. He calls it a leading, modifiable risk factor for broader health problems and urges people to get evaluated earlier than they think.

That's pretty significant for people who are facing this hearing loss condition, that it can contribute to probably some disorientation and a little bit of confusion and, of course, disconnection from those around them.
Yeah, sure. I mean, I don't want to overstate it, but it is a leading modifiable risk factor, which means you should certainly have your hearing checked maybe earlier than you might think. And also, if you need help with your hearing, the earlier the better.
