Spoke yesterday on @BBCRadioWales outlining our concern about impacts of rising fuel prices on older people. Increased winter deaths & fuel poverty will inevitably follow. We will do all we can to get our support to those in need through @CRCymru services and working with others.

If hearing loss leads to lower cognitive reserve then those people’s symptoms will appear sooner. Thus hearing loss may lead to earlier appearance of dementia symptoms.
Equally, if people withdraw socially due to hearing loss they may lose cognitive reserve too.
