The connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline has been an increasingly growing area of research. At McNamara Hearing, we want our patients to live with the best quality of life possible, for their whole body health, and understand the part hearing plays in that.
While hearing loss doesn’t directly cause dementia, it is a contributing factor. This is due to several reasons:
– Cognitive overload: The brain works harder to process sound, affecting other cognitive functions
– Social isolation: Difficulty hearing can lead to withdrawal, impacting mental health
– Brain changes: Hearing loss may contribute to changes in brain structure
It’s crucial to address hearing loss early- hearing aids can significantly improve hearing and potentially reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
