Improving the quality of life for deaf and hard of hearing communities.
With support from Canadian Hearing Services (CHS), John Anderson, Ph.D. is leading an impactful study on the link between hearing loss and cognitive reserve — the brain’s ability to resist damage caused by aging and pathology.
This research holds tremendous potential to foster breakthroughs in deaf studies and inform interventions that target brain health. This project will identify brain regions associated with cognitive reserve in various types of hearing loss, determine how the type of hearing loss and cognitive reserve relate, and offer suggestions to mitigate the decline, providing a framework to assess cognitive intervention in the Deaf and hard of hearing community.
