Hearing Loss and Dementia

Did you know there is a direct link between hearing loss and dementia? In a recent study conducted at Johns Hopkins researchers found that people who are hard of hearing have increased odds of developing dementia as they age, and the worse their hearing, the greater their risk. However, and this is the crucial part, that same report goes on to state that “hearing aids...could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients' hearing”. Regardless of what you have done in life, whether as an engineer, an attorney, a physician or a construction worker, if you have a hearing loss, the use of hearing aids will not only improve your quality of life now, but could also make a big difference in retaining or improving your essential cognitive functions.
