Hearing health plays a powerful—and often overlooked—role in brain health. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to increased risk of cognitive decline, social isolation, and changes in brain function, yet many people delay evaluation and care for years.

Join us for this statewide virtual education program with Dr. Robin Wielens, founder and audiologist with Island Audiology in Honolulu, as she explores the connection between hearing and brain health. Participants will learn how hearing loss affects the brain, why early detection matters, and practical steps to protect both hearing and cognitive health at any age.

This program is designed for adults of all ages, caregivers, and anyone interested in proactive brain health and healthy aging.

For centuries, we’ve known that the health of the brain and the body are connected. But now, science is able to provide insights into how to make lifestyle choices that may help you keep your brain and body healthy as you age. Join us to learn about research in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement, and use hands-on tools to help you incorporate these recommendations into a plan for healthy aging.
