A BOLD Step in the Fight Against Alzheimer's
|
Q. I have a close friend who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She is one of many family friends and relatives that have the debilitating disease. When I think about them and the health crisis that Alzheimer’s has become, I think how there should be more laws out there and more
funding for education and caregiving assistance. I read about some new law last year that seems to be a step in the right direction. Do you know if, despite the current government shutdown, the passing of this new law is still in motion? Once it becomes a law, what are some of the things that it is supposed to support? Thanks for your help!
Critter Corner: Can the Dangerous Consequences of Hearing Loss be Lessened by OTC Hearing Aids?
|
Dear Magic,
My daughters and I suspect that my wife is experiencing hearing loss, but hearing aids are so expensive. I heard something about legislation that passed making them available over the counter. Is this true, and if so, do you know when this will start? Also, is it true that untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of dementia? Thanks!
