Protect & Improve Your Hearing & Brain Health | Dr. Konstantina Stankovic

My guest is Konstantina Stankovic, MD, PhD, Professor and Chair of
Otolaryngology at Stanford School of Medicine. She explains how
hearing works and why hearing loss—affecting over 1.5 billion
people—impacts people of all ages. We discuss how hearing loss
impairs focus and increases the risk of cognitive decline, as well
as the role of menopause and other biological milestones in hearing
health. We share science-backed protocols to protect your hearing
and highlight risks to avoid. And we discuss tinnitus—its causes
and treatment options. AGZ: https://drinkagz.com/huberman
