Protect Hearing to Support Brain Health and Tinnitus
If you only think about hearing when it gets worse, you are not alone. This episode’s core message is that hearing is not just about ears, it is about brain workload, connection, and long-term cognitive health. Dr. Konstantina Stankovic explains how the cochlea converts tiny mechanical vibrations into neural signals, why high frequencies are often the first to decline, and why hearing aids help but do not fully restore normal hearing. You will also learn a clear model of tinnitus as a brain-generated phantom sound, and practical ways to reduce risk from everyday noise.
