Introduction
Atkins Hearing Center is proud to offer Cognivue® Thrive cognitive screening, a quick and non-invasive assessment designed to evaluate cognitive function.
Research shows a strong connection between hearing health and brain health, making cognitive screening an important part of comprehensive hearing care.
This screening helps our clinicians better understand how cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and problem-solving may impact communication and hearing performance.
What the Screening Evaluates
Cognivue screening evaluates several important areas of cognitive function:
Memory
Memory allows the brain to encode, store, and retrieve sensory information, including speech and sound. Hearing loss may impact short-term and working memory, which are important for communication.
Visuospatial Ability
Visuospatial processing helps individuals interpret visual information and understand spatial relationships. Hearing and vision often work together to improve speech recognition and environmental awareness.
Executive Function
Executive function includes higher-level cognitive abilities such as attention, focus, planning, reasoning, and decision-making.
Why Cognitive Screening Matters
Studies have shown that hearing health and cognitive health are closely connected.
Adding cognitive screening to hearing care allows clinicians to better support patients by:
• Monitoring cognitive function
• Identifying potential concerns early
• Supporting more personalized treatment plans
• Enhancing overall hearing care
What to Expect During the Test
The Cognivue Thrive assessment is:
• Quick and easy to complete
• Non-invasive
• Designed specifically for clinical use
• Administered and interpreted by licensed professionals
The device is used as an adjunctive tool to evaluate cognitive function and is not a stand-alone diagnostic test.
