Whether you already wear hearing aids or are considering them, this is exciting news!
Good hearing isn’t just about better conversations, it can actually help keep your brain healthy too! Healthy aging is about feeling your best, not stopping the clock. We all want to stay mentally sharp and active as we get older. That’s why staying social, exercising, and keeping your mind engaged are so important.
But there’s one often overlooked piece of the brain health puzzle: your hearing! Recent studies show a strong link between good hearing and overall health, especially for your brain. A recent study found that older adults with hearing loss who used hearing aids experienced a slower decline in thinking abilities over three years compared to those who didn’t use them. This effect was especially pronounced in participants with a higher risk of dementia.
Why the connection? Because good hearing keeps your brain actively involved in the world around you. If you’re serious about staying healthy as you age, taking care of your hearing is a smart move!
