Good hearing vital to health
Overall, hearing helps maintain the functionality of various brain regions involved in auditory processing, language, memory, attention and perception.
Emotional, mental and physical health are negatively impacted by hearing loss, including:
Cognitive function – linked to an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline. The Achieve study published in The Lancet suggests that using hearing aids may potentially reduce the risk of developing dementia by up to 48 per cent in high-risk individuals. This highlights the importance of maintaining good hearing health for overall brain health
Hearing is the #1 modifiable risk factor in dementia.
Communication – Hearing enables us to understand and interpret spoken language, which is important for social interactions and maintaining emotional well-being.
Safety and awareness – Good hearing health enhances our situational awareness, allowing us to navigate our surroundings safely and respond appropriately to potential hazards.
Our ears and brain must work harmoniously together for both to work well.
