8 | August 9, 2018 | 22nd century media education Guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com Understanding the importance of South Suburban Hearing Health Center is leading the charge in getting older adults to have their hearing checked, and accepting help, if needed. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders estimates that nearly 25 percent of those 75 and older have a disabling hearing loss. About 26 million Americans ages 20 to 69 have high-frequency hearing loss due to noise exposure. New studies indicate a link between hearing loss and mental decline. For a long time, hearing loss has getting hearing checks been considered a natural thing and no cause for alarm. But studies from Johns Hopkins University have found links between hearing loss, cognitive decline and dementia. That means that it may be a greater threat than imagined, and that measures as simple as hearing aids could have a huge influence on healthy brain function. In one study involving 2,000 men and women ages 75-84, they’ve found that over six years, cognitive abilities of those with hearing loss declined 30 to 40 percent faster than in people with normal hearing. A 2011 study of more than 600 adults found that those with hearing loss at the beginning of the study were more likely to develop dementia than adults with normal hearing. In fact, the more severe the hearing loss, the more likely they were to develop dementia; volunteers with mild, moderate and severe loss were two, three and five times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal hearing. Another study by Johns Hopkins University found accelerated rates of brain atrophy in people with impaired hearing compared with those who had normal hearing. In addition, they linked hearing loss to “deep episodes of stress, depression or bad mood,” an increased risk of hospitalization and an increase in the risk of falls. Since we collect sound with our ear and process the sound in our brain, we need to keep the brain healthy in order for our auditory system to work properly. If we have hearing loss, it needs to be treated. Hearing aids can be an important part in doing that. Submitted by South Suburban Hearing Health Centers, Homer Glen, Burr Ridge and Mokena.
