What if we told you that the single greatest thing you can do for your brain health today has nothing to do with crossword puzzles or supplements and everything to do with your ears? 

In this episode of Resonate the Podcast, Lesleigh sits down with Sigart Brant, a medical doctor and Director of BrainWorks, to discuss the link between hearing loss and cognitive function.  

Sigart sits at the intersection of healthcare, innovation and policy. As the Director of BrainWorks, he’s focused on researching the connection between hearing health and cognitive, physical, and emotional wellbeing, and how we can use that research to create better outcomes for his patients and society.
