The Surprising Link Between Hearing Loss, Balance, and Mobility

Hearing loss is usually described as a communication problem, but this episode explores why that picture may be too small. Dr. Layne Garrett of Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus explains new research connecting worse hearing with slower walking speed in everyday life, and why auditory load, listening effort, speech clarity, and SNR deficits can affect more than conversations.

You'll learn how the brain uses sound to support attention, spatial awareness, confidence, and movement — and why untreated hearing loss may quietly increase fatigue, hesitation, and caution in noisy or unfamiliar environments. Dr. Garrett also explains why a comprehensive hearing evaluation should include more than basic tone testing, especially when someone struggles to understand speech in noise.

Dr. Layne Garrett has more than two decades specializing in tinnitus and complex hearing loss, using evidence-based care including REM-verified hearing aid fittings and medical-model diagnostics.
