Maintaining Hearing and Vision

Hearing and vision loss can be a normal part of aging. Diseases can lead to
permanent damage. Regular exams can find loss early and reduce risk of more damage. The individuals you care for might need a little extra attention to preserve their hearing and vision. Adults who have a diagnosis of Down syndrome are at higher risk for hearing and vision problems and tend to have them at an earlier age.
