(UHN Foundation) – With symptoms including challenges with memory, comprehension, communication, hearing loss, and mood swings, an acquired brain injury can have a significant impact on a person’s daily life.
Acquired brain injuries are any brain injuries that occur after birth and can be caused by traumatic brain injuries, strokes, tumours, metabolic disorders and infections, among other factors.
