🧠 Hearing Aid = Brain Gain? Study Says YES!

Did you know that treating hearing loss early—especially before age 70—can dramatically slash your risk of dementia by a whopping 61%? A recent study published in JAMA Neurology tracked nearly 3,000 adults and found this groundbreaking result among those who wore hearing aids compared to those who didn’t .

Interestingly, the benefit was most prominent for individuals in their 60s. Once people reached age 70 or older, the protective effect diminished significantly .

It’s startling to think that only about 17% of people with moderate to severe hearing loss actually use hearing aids . Hearing loss isn’t just about missing out on sounds—it may increase cognitive load, contribute to social isolation, and potentially speed up brain decline .

** So here’s a simple yet powerful reminder:**
• Get your hearing checked early.
• If needed, consider hearing aids—especially in your 40’s-60s.
• It’s a small step that could make a huge difference for your brain health.

Spread the word—your ears and your brain will thank you! 😌

⸻

Why this matters:
• Hearing aids aren’t just about better hearing—they can protect your mind.
• Early action is critical—don’t wait until it’s too late.
• As dementia cases rise, simple interventions like this can make a big impact.

Treating hearing loss with hearing aids may prevent dementia, as 40% of dementia cases are linked to modifiable risk factors like untreated hearing loss.

🔫👂 Can Gun Silencers Help Reduce the Risk of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss?

Did you know a single gunshot can reach 140–175 dB—loud enough to cause immediate and permanent hearing damage?

Gun suppressors (often called “silencers”) don’t make fi****ms quiet like in the movies, but they can reduce noise levels by 20–35 dB. This can make shooting safer, but most suppressed gunfire still measures well above 120 dB, which is still hazardous to your ears.

👉 What this means:
• Suppressors can lower your risk of noise-induced hearing loss, but they are not enough on their own.
• Hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs) is still essential, even when using a suppressor.
• Combining suppressors and hearing protection offers the best safeguard for your long-term hearing health.

At Family Hearing & Sensory Neural Center, we see many patients with hearing loss related to fi****ms. Protecting your ears today means clearer hearing for years to come. 💙

➡️ If you have ringing in your ears or notice difficulty hearing after shooting, schedule a hearing check with us.

Why Don’t People Wear Their Hearing Aids? 🤔

You finally got hearing aids… but they’re sitting in a drawer. You’re not alone.

Many people stop wearing their hearing aids because:
🔇 Sounds seem too loud or unnatural
🗣️ Speech still feels hard to understand
🎧 They’re uncomfortable or don’t fit properly
🔋 Battery hassles or tech confusion
🧼 They get clogged with wax or stop working due to cleaning issues
