Hearing loss can happen at any age. If someone you know frequency asks you to repeat what you said, sets the volume too loud or struggles to follow conversations, they might be experiencing hearing loss.
In this session, we’ve discussed what can cause hearing loss, how to maintain your hearing health, how hearing loss is connected to cognitive decline and what funding options are there in Nova Scotia for people who require hearing aids.
We're partnering with Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia, THANS, Senior Safety program and Aging Well Nova Scotia on June 15, 2026 to raise awareness about Elder Abuse and talk about resources available in our province.
