22ndCenturyMedia.com active aging Guide 22nd century media | october 19, 2017 | 25 Wearing hearing aids reduces risk of cognitive decline Made for an Invisible Fit Hearing loss has been linked to a number of health concerns in recent years, especially to cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s, according to Jonathan Wright, a specialist at South Suburban Hearing Health Center’s Homer Glen and Burr Ridge offices. “Adults with hearing loss are two-tofive times more likely to develop dementia when compared to adults with normal hearing,” Wright said. A recent study by Columbia University Medical Center has found a direct correlation between hearing aid use and cognitive performance in older adults aged 80 to 99 with hearing loss. The study also indicates older adults with hearing loss who used hearing aids performed significantly better on cognitive tests than those who did not use a hearing aid. The goal of the study was to determine if hearing aids could slow the effects of aging on cognitive function. “Our study suggests that using a hearing aid may offer a simple, yet important, way to prevent or slow the development of dementia by keeping adults with hearing loss engaged in conversation and communication,” said Dr. Anil K. Lawlwani, professor of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery at CUMC and otolaryngologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/CUMC and NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, about their findings. CUMC’s study further supports the notion that hearing loss impacts neurological elements as we age. In 2014, researchers at Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging used information from the ongoing Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging to look at the differences in brain changes between adults with normal hearing and adults with hearing loss. Analysis of the participants’ MRIs over the years showed that participants with hearing loss had accelerated rates of brain atrophy compared to those with normal hearing. “Overall, the scientists report, those with impaired hearing lost more than an additional cubic centimeter of brain tissue each year compared with those with normal hearing,” Wright said. “Those with impaired hearing also had significantly more shrinkage in particular regions, including the superior, middle and inferior temporal gyri, brain structures responsible for processing sound and speech. “With all of the new information we have on the impact hearing loss has on the brain and the individual’s quality of life, it’s now more important than ever to take action. Hearing loss is not uncommon today, and in older adults, hearing health is key.” Come visit the professionals at South Suburban Hearing Health Center in Homer Glen or Burr Ridge and start hearing better today.
