Hearing Loss and the Risk of Dementia
Research has identified that people with untreated hearing loss have an increased risk of developing dementia. This is due to a number of factors:
- Increased Cognitive Load
- Reduced Brain Stimulation
- Social Isolation
Research by John Hopkins Medicine indicates that people with a severe hearing loss are five times more likely to develop dementia than people with normal hearing.
While not the only risk factor, hearing loss has been identified as the most modifiable risk factor. Wearing a hearing aid reduces the rate of cognitive decline and the risk of developing dementia.
