July 25 Chapter Meeting: Age-Related Hearing Loss
Join us at our next HLAA-LA Chapter meeting to discover what age-related hearing loss is and how it occurs. You’ll also learn about new research to understand and address hearing loss as we age. Could doctors someday be able to stop hearing loss before it progresses? Find out more at this fascinating presentation—and invite any interested guests!
When: Saturday, July 25
Time: 10-Noon PT
Where: 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 often overlooked, aspects of aging. In this engaging presentation, university researcher Noah Linder will explore the biological changes that drive hearing loss over time, highlighting 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.
