Cognivue Cognitive Screening
A computer-based screening that gives you and your physician something written down.
Cognivue Cognitive Screening
What this page helps you decide
Following a conversation takes attention and memory as well as hearing. Cognivue is a computer-based screening that gives a snapshot of that side of listening, offered here alongside hearing care.
It is a screening, not a diagnosis. It cannot tell you that you have dementia and it cannot tell you that you do not. What it gives you is a written result to take to your physician.
When to Schedule
- A long conversation leaves you drained rather than just deaf
- You lose the thread when several people talk at once
- A physician or a relative has raised memory alongside hearing

Why Professional Audiology Care Matters
The reason this sits in an audiology office is practical. Straining to hear makes listening effortful, and effort can look like a memory problem from the outside. Sorting out the hearing part first makes the rest of the picture easier to read.

Cognivue Cognitive Screening FAQs
Is Cognivue a diagnosis?
No. It is a screening tool. Diagnosis belongs with a physician, and a screening result is something to bring to that appointment.
Why is a hearing practice asking about cognition?
Because listening uses attention and processing, and untreated hearing loss makes both harder to judge. The two questions get tangled together, and it helps to separate them.
Do hearing aids treat memory problems?
No. Hearing aids are fitted for hearing loss. They do not diagnose or treat cognitive conditions.
