Hearing loss isn’t just an inconvenience — it may be a significant risk factor for dementia. A 2020 report attributed 8% of global dementia cases to untreated hearing loss. Researchers are exploring whether hearing loss leads to changes in the brain that cause cognitive decline—or if it's the other way around, with neurodegeneration affecting how we hear. While we still have much to learn, there is encouraging news: treating hearing loss with hearing aids could be one way to help prevent or delay the onset of dementia. 🎧 Modern hearing aids come in many types and styles, each offering different features to match individual needs. If you or someone you love is experiencing hearing loss, it’s worth talking to a physician to explore the best options.
