An article in the Journal of American Medicine Association (JAMA) dated December 5, 2022 concludes the benefits of hearing devices in slowing cognitive decline such as Dementia.

Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants in the Prevention of Cognitive Decline and Dementia
Michael W. Denham, MPhil; Rachel E. Weitzman, MD, MPH, MS; Justin S. Golub, MD, MS

Conclusions
In this multi-adjusted observational meta-analysis of 31 observational studies comprising 137,484 participants, the use of hearing restorative devices by participants with hearing loss was found to be significantly associated with a 19% decrease in the hazards of long-term cognitive decline. Furthermore, the use of these devices was also significantly associated with a 3% improvement in short-term cognitive test scores that assessed general cognition. This study adds to the growing evidence base and serves as an impetus for clinicians treating patients with hearing loss to persuade them to adopt hearing restorative devices, to mitigate their risk of cognitive decline such as dementia.

IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE SUSPECT A HEARING LOSS MAY BE PRESENT, DO NOT DELAY GETTING IT CHECKED OUT. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HEARING ANYMORE, IT'S ABOUT YOUR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLBEING.
