Hearing Loss and Dementia

Recent studies continue to conclude that hearing loss is the single largest risk factor for developing dementia. When it comes to both hearing and the brain, it’s a use-it-or-lose-it situation, and the two are linked in multiple ways. When we don’t use our hearing, our auditory pathways experience atrophy and begin to decline. The same goes for our brains, and the parts of our brains that are responsible for functions like hearing experience additional atrophy when we can’t hear. And hearing loss may contribute to faster rates of atrophy in the brain overall. Hearing loss is also a major cause of social isolation, which is another factor associated with the risk of dementia. 

We bring you this column on hearing healthcare and its impact on the entire body in order to better educate our readers on the importance and benefits of taking care of their hearing, thus enhancing their quality of life. If you are  having trouble hearing, or if a family member seems to be experiencing hearing difficulties, we welcome you to us! We offer comprehensive services by a skilled hearing aid specialist, including hearing tests and evaluations, individualized hearing instrument fittings, and follow-up care.

P.S. In addition to limiting conversations that promote healthy hearing and brain function, social isolation also leads to reduced physical activity, lower cognitive engagement, and increased risk for other health conditions that contribute to dementia.
