It's so important to be reminded of the many ways a person can stay on the healthier track and slow down this disease. Maybe, I missed it in your article, but was there any mention of hearing loss as a mitigating factor?

These two issues definitely are more likely in the same patient. There is a strong relationship between the degree of hearing loss and the degree of dementia. Here is the best information that I was able to find.
