[Edited extract from public address]

Almost 1 in 12 Australians over 65 have dementia. As we get older, this number increases.

Bolton Clarke's free Understanding Dementia sessions explain what dementia is; its causes, signs and symptoms; and ways to support brain health through healthy habits.

Following each session, Hearing Australia will provide a limited number of free 15-minute hearing checks. Recent research has shown that untreated hearing loss may be linked to cognitive decline and dementia.
