What the Research Says
Research shows that when sense health goes down, cognition goes down, increasing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia. By maintaining strong senses, you ensure that your brain receives the vital sensory input it needs for memory retention, focus, and overall cognitive function.
MEET THE FOUNDER
"85% of Alzheimer's patients show reduced sense of smell before cognitive symptoms. Each 10 decibel increase in hearing loss raises dementia risk by 20%. The connection between brain health and sense health cannot be understated. The key to cognitive vitality is through testing, protecting, and optimizing our senses."

Human vs. Animal: How Your 5 Senses Stack Up
How Do Your Senses Compare to the Animal Kingdom? We rely on our five senses every day, but in the animal world, sensory abilities can mean the difference between life and death. While humans are generalists with a well-balanced set of senses, many animals have evolved extraordinary abilities—like a mantis shrimp’s 16-color vision receptors or an elephant’s ability to detect water miles away. Yet, our sensory health plays a crucial role in our well-being, and changes in vision, hearing, smell, touch, or taste could be early signs of cognitive decline. Understanding how our senses compare to the animal kingdom isn’t just fascinating—it’s essential for maintaining long-term brain health.
The Surprising Link Between Smell, Sound, and Emotions
The Hidden Connection Between Smell, Sound, and Emotion We often think of our senses as separate, but new research reveals that smell and sound are more intertwined than we realize—especially when it comes to emotions and social behavior. A study from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory shows how the brain integrates these senses to influence caregiving in mice, offering insights into human behavior and conditions like autism. This discovery highlights the deep connections between sensory processing and emotional health, reinforcing the importance of maintaining sensory function for overall well-being. Could changes in how we perceive sound and smell be early indicators of cognitive decline? Science is starting to say yes.
Protecting Your Senses, Preserving Your Memories: The Case for At-Home Testing
Sensory decline, though often considered a natural part of aging, may be an early indicator of something far more concerning—cognitive decline. Research, including a compelling study published in Molecular Neurodegeneration titled "The utility of sensory measures as indicators for neurodegenerative diseases", reveals that changes in sensory health may be one of the earliest measurable signs of diseases like Alzheimer’s.
At-Home Sense Tests Backed by Research and Developed by Doctors
The sense of smell is often one of the earliest indicators of cognitive decline, including conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Changes in your ability to detect odors can occur before other symptoms, making it a critical marker for early detection. Regularly testing your sense of smell can provide early warnings of cognitive health issues.
Test Method: We use the 12-Odorant Scratch & Smell Test to evaluate your ability to detect and identify various odors. This test provides valuable insights into your olfactory function, helping you monitor changes over time.
When I discovered that I carry the APOE-e4 gene, I was incredibly worried about my future. To monitor my cognitive health, I started using SuperSenses. The at-home tests allow me to regularly check my sense of smell, which I've learned is a key early indicator of cognitive decline. Through the app, I discovered the benefits of smell training.
