Wellness Talk - Dr Norm Dawson - Hearing Loss and Dementia - the Connections

About Dr. Norm
Introducing Dr. Norm Dawson, a renowned professional speaker and advocate for dementia prevention. With an inspiring personal journey, Dr. Dawson brings a unique perspective to the subject, given that he has been deaf for 2/3 of his life. At the age of 75, he defies expectations by not only living without dementia but also dedicating his talks to identifying and reducing the risks associated with this condition.

Dr. Dawson's life has been shaped by his hearing impairment, and he has fearlessly conquered the barriers that came with it. Despite experiencing a gradual decline in his hearing from the age of 5 to 27, he defied the odds and attended public schools. At 27, he embraced sign language, embarking on an extraordinary educational journey that led him to achieve three college degrees, including a doctorate in chiropractic studies.
