Isolation and dementia - Why we should protect our ears | DW Documentary

If you're young, you don't usually do enough to protect your hearing. But more than a billion youngsters are at risk of hearing loss worldwide. People often turn to assistive devices when it's already too late. Hearing loss can result in isolation and accelerate the onset of dementia. Traffic noise, aeroplanes taking off, music turned up to full volume. At concerts and parties, noise levels often exceed the pain threshold of 120 decibels.
