Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ears, it affects your brain, too. And the longer it goes untreated, the more strain it puts on memory, focus, and quality of life.
Studies show that:
• Mild hearing loss = 2x higher dementia risk
• Moderate = 3x higher
• Severe = 5x higher
The good news? Hearing tests are quick and painless and can detect hearing loss early. A person with hearing loss using hearing aids has the same risk of mental decline as a person with normal hearing.
Remember: A person with hearing loss who does not use hearing aids has an accelerated risk of mental decline.
