When hearing loss is untreated, your brain takes a hit trying to process the mixed messages your ears are sending it. It's hardly surprising, then, that by the end of the day, you feel your age, and then some. Wearing hearing aids may help take the strain off your brain, potentially leaving you feeling more energetic and lively.
Hearing aids can be the difference between the person in the boardroom looking confused and unable to follow the thread of the meeting, and the dynamo confidently addressing the room, not missing a beat, on top of what's going on. Which do you think looks younger?
Socialising can be tough for people with untreated hearing loss. Noisy restaurants and parties aren't much fun when you can't hear what people are saying. Pop on a hearing aid, though, and those social occasions you've been avoiding could suddenly become enjoyable again. Before you know it, you could be partying like its 1999.
What do young people love more than anything else? Technology. And those technological advances that seem to be happening at a rate of knots, also stretch to hearing aids. Today's tiny devices are packed with sophisticated tech that connect seamlessly with smartphones, music systems, computers … even the TV. Pretty impressive!
Unmanaged hearing loss has been linked to depression, anxiety, even heart disease, but it's also been proven that older adults with hearing loss are up to five times more likely to develop dementia than those without.1 The good news is that using hearing aids will significantly lower that risk, probably because they prevent over-taxing on the brain.
