HEARING HEALTH & BRAIN HEALTH
( Connected?)
A new
study shows there is a higher risk of accelerated cognitive decline due to
withdrawal from social activities for individuals with hearing loss who do not
actively use hearing aids.
It's
widely known that as we get older, most of us experience some decline in our
cognitive faculties. We tend to forget things, it takes longer to learn new
things and it's harder to concentrate and focus. This cognitive decline
is usually a normal part of aging, unfortunately. We can't stop it, but there
are things we can do to slow it down.
Maintain your brain: stay stimulated
According to research, by far the single most
important thing we can do to maintain our brains as we age is to stay mentally
engaged, through an active social life with friends, family and business
associates.
Healthy hearing is a key part of staying
involved with people and the world around us. But as we age, for many of us,
our hearing ability declines, along with cognition. Is there a connection
between hearing loss and cognitive decline? For many years, researchers have
speculated about this relationship. For the first time, a new study[1] has
documented hearing loss and cognitive decline among a group of nearly 4000
volunteers over a 25-year period.
