Summary
Changes in hearing and vision are common in older people and are associated with cognitive decline. This presentation highlighted age-related sensory changes and their connections to cognitive performance. Sensory function can be modified using technologies, environmental adaptations, and behavioural strategies. Improving sensory function can in turn improve cognitive performance. Proactive solutions to managing sensory health can benefit brain health and support people so they can stay active in every-day life.
