The
American Medical Association has reported a study that found that people
suffering from hearing loss are more likely to suffer a decline of cognitive
ability (dementia). The more serious the hearing deficit, the greater the
mental impairment.
What
does that mean? For baby boomers with parents who are showing signs of being
“hard of hearing”, it means that procrastination in getting important legal
documents prepared and signed must stop. You’ve been given a clear warning.
Make sure your parents (and you, too) have wills or living trusts and powers of
attorney for finances and health care. Don’t wait until they are no longer
competent. You will have waited too long.
If
I can help, please let me know.
