Who is Dr Saunders?
Dr Saunders and the team at Blamey Saunders hears are passionate about helping people to understand the importance of hearing and listening for brain health.
Recent research has shown a strong relationship between untreated hearing loss (caused by noise exposure and the normal ageing process) and isolation, depression and dementia.
Dr Saunders advised about both hearing and listening strategies to help.

Family and friends of those with hearing loss are usually the first to notice there is a problem, and it is essential they are supportive of the rehabilitation process.
