Hearing loss is very common.
More than half of Americans aged 70-79 have some degree of hearing loss, and this increases to 90% for those aged 80+.
Hearing loss leads to more health risks and higher costs.
A study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health discovered that older adults with more severe hearing loss had a higher likelihood of dementia.
However, those who used hearing aids showed a lower risk of dementia compared to non-users. This study emphasizes the potential benefit of hearing aid use in mitigating risk of dementia, suggesting that treating hearing loss may indeed lower the chance of developing dementia over time.
Further supporting these findings, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported that hearing aids slowed cognitive decline in people at high risk of dementia by nearly 50% over three years. Together, these findings provide strong evidence that treating hearing loss is crucial for cognitive health.
