In Catholic social teaching, this policy is a form of evil that is directly contradictory to Catholic teaching and is grounds for excommunication from the Church. If Vance, for example, is taking part in this, he has just given the Catholic Church everything it needs to publicly excommunicate him.

I donāt think the link between hearing loss and dementia can be established without studying what hearing loss does to people overall. In the case of my mother, it caused social withdrawal, which lead to more sedentary, solitary tasks. She also stopped listening to media/music while doing tasks.
