Audiology at Aldersgate with Dr. Tomas Cabrera

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, approximately 37.5 million people in the United States have reported having some trouble hearing. With age itself being the largest predicting factor in hearing loss, the population most affected are those between the ages 60-69. That being said, people of all ages and health conditions can be affected.  Needless to say, if you're living with one of the many forms of hearing loss, you’re not alone.

Joining us today is Charlotte-based audiologist Dr. Tomas Cabrera, who has partnered with Aldersgate to begin the process of providing on-site resources for residents affected by hearing loss. In this candid conversation, Dr. Cabrera discusses overall awareness of hearing loss, options for treatment, advances in technology, possible supportive legislation, common misconceptions, and his partnership with Aldersgate in their commitment to honor elders.
