Relationship Between Healthy Hearing and Healthy Brain

Hearing loss is the third most common health condition facing adults today. Despite being a potentially debilitating health issue, many people delay seeking treatment out of denial, fear, or embarrassment.

Untreated hearing loss has been linked to a number of other health problems, both physical and psychological including cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, and increased risk of falls. People with hearing loss often have difficulty following day-to-day conversations and may begin to withdraw from social activities and spending time with friends and family.

What can you do? Get your hearing checked. Hearing loss is very common in older individuals and because of its link to depression, it is critically important to take steps to address it. Reach out to a hearing care specialist such as an audiologist to get your hearing tested.

Hearing at its best

Do what is needed to keep your hearing at its best. Stay active. Get out and move. Plan regular walks with a friend. Visit a community pool. Moving around is a great way to help blood flow to your brain which will help your mood.

Talk to people. Stay social. Plan events with friends and family. Do what it takes to stay in touch with the people you love. It can feel like hearing loss gets in the way of living life to its fullest.

In addition to hearing aids, there are tools such as a captioned telephone that can make it easier to stay connected. Visit an audiologist and take the first step towards better hearing and healthy living.
