Voice changes may signal dementia risk
The study indicates that voice disorders, such as changes in the quality or tone of voice that occur frequently or abnormally, are associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia, even among individuals without hearing loss. Research involving more than 833,000 people over the age of 50 found that those with voice disorders alone face a 58% higher likelihood of developing cognitive problems compared to those without voice or hearing issues, with an overall increase of 29% in the occurrence of cognitive conditions among individuals with voice disorders. Experts believe that this connection may be due to the social isolation resulting from communication difficulties or biological changes in the brain that affect nerves related to memory and hearing. Physicians advise not to ignore persistent or new voice changes, as they may be early indicators of future cognitive issues or may require urgent medical evaluation.
