If you’re a person with hearing loss, communicating can be challenging and exhausting as you strain to hear and make sense of what you’ve heard. This is especially true when someone talks to you from another room, more than one person is talking at the same time, or you’re tired and don’t have the physical and emotional energy to listen. Learning and processing our proven strategies together - for people with hearing loss and those they communicate with - will enable everyone to understand what it takes to have more fulfilling conversations. 
 
Learning these strategies is important because hearing loss is an “invisible disability” that touches on how the person with hearing loss operates in the world. From simple things like not realizing how loud they are, to shying away from social events because they’re concerned about not being able to participate - hearing loss affects their every day life. You can be instrumental in making your conversations better by utilizing these strategies.

For thousands of years, tales have been told about a magical fountain that somehow restores a person's ‘youth.’  The earliest record of a “fountain of youth” was written by the Greek historian Herodotus in fifth century BC.  Since then billions upon billions of dollars have been spent trying to develop products and solutions for the age-old problem of aging: cosmetics, supplements, creams, masks, dyes, slimming garments, hair plugs, sports cars… the list goes on.  All in an effort to help us look and feel young again.  Even though our car ages, our house ages, our clothing ages, we, like the humans we are, love to believe it will never happen to us.  Aging is universal, and the search for a pill, diet, workout, surgery, or implant that slows aging is a staple of the human endeavor. 

Join us as Dr. Jared Cooper, Moment Institute, shares how to slow the effects of aging, live longer, and reduce your chances of developing an age-related condition.
