While a gradual decline in hearing for both ears, difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds, and distinguishing speech in noisy environments may all be common hearing changes with aging, certain medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, genetics, and some medications can accelerate or worsen age-related hearing loss. Importantly, untreated hearing loss as we age can lead to social isolation, in addition to a decline in relationships, and has been linked to an increased risk of conditions like depression, heart disease, and dementia.
Join Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and the Good Life on Roosevelt Island Association (GLORIA) for a virtual session exploring hearing changes with aging, including what it is, what causes it, how it is diagnosed, and ways to manage it through lifestyle and treatment options.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) that cause symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue, in addition to affecting other body parts such as the eyes, skin, and joints. Though chronic, these conditions are manageable with treatments including medication, diet, and sometimes surgery, but there is no cure.
Join us for a discussion to learn more about Crohn’s and Colitis, including what they are, how they are diagnosed, and what steps can be taken to support overall health with these conditions during the Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Series with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library.
