Research has shown that leaving hearing loss untreated can lead to faster cognitive decline as we get older.
Having significant difficulty hearing speech in noisy places is associated with a staggering 61% increased risk of dementia! One of the reasons for this is that reduced sound stimulation causes a draining effect on other mental resources, such as your working memory, which enables you to follow a conversation.
Struggling to hear well may also make you feel like socializing less and cause you to withdraw – isolation is a known risk for cognitive decline.
