Next Chapter Meeting: Age-Related Hearing Loss
Learn and discover what age-related hearing loss is and how it occurs. You also learn about new research to understand and address hearing loss as we age. Could we someday be able to stop hearing loss as we age? Join us and find out more!
When: Saturday, July 25
Time: 10-Noon PT
Place: The HEAR Center
301 E Del Mar Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101
Age-related hearing loss, or presbycusis, affects millions of people and is one of the most common yet underappreciated aspects of aging. In this engaging talk, Noah will explore the biological changes that drive hearing loss over time, highlighting both what scientists currently understand and the questions that remain unanswered. He will also share several promising research directions that are reshaping how we think about preventing, slowing, or even reversing age-related hearing decline.
Beyond the science of hearing, Noah will connect this topic to broader questions about aging and longevity. Attendees will gain insight into current clinical trials targeting age-related hearing loss and learn how advances in regenerative medicine and rejuvenation research may influence the future of healthy aging. Whether you are interested in neuroscience, aging, or the next generation of medical breakthroughs, this session offers a fascinating look at where the field is headed—and the discoveries that could impact all of us.
