With the growth of age, hearing loss is a normal phenomenon of human aging. However, some people think this is a small problem. Because they think deafness is not fatal. However, in fact, hearing loss is a very serious matter. Don't ignore it! Here are four reasons why you should pay attention to listening problems.
1. Think hearing loss is normal
For the elderly over 70 years old, two out of every three people have hearing loss. The study found that the elderly with hearing loss are more likely to fall, resulting in disability and even death. A group of doctors funded by Johns Hopes University in the United States investigated the relationship between hearing loss and life expectancy. They found that the death rate of the elderly with hearing loss was 54% higher. So don't ignore listening problems. You should choose hearing aids as soon as possible, which can prolong your life!
2. Save money
Untreated hearing loss will lead to more expensive medical expenses in the future. Dr. Simpson of South Carolina Medical University found that among people aged 55 to 65, the medical expenses of hearing loss patients are 33% higher than those of normal hearing patients, and the medical expenses will increase exponentially over time!
3. Worry about affecting interpersonal relationships
Hearing loss not only affects patients themselves, but also family, friends and colleagues. If the conversation is often misunderstood, repeated or interrupted, people around you will not want to communicate with you, and the relationship may break down. Hearing loss also has a serious impact on the people you love. She/he must speak loudly and avoid going to noisy restaurants or parties, resulting in lifestyle changes and social reduction.
The study also found a link between hearing loss and dementia. Our brain has limited resources to process information. When the brain concentrates on understanding words, it will miss other information. For example, if the brain focuses on understanding words, it may not recognize bumps on the road, causing you to fall. The harder it is for your brain to hear the sound, the more other parts of your brain will atrophy, and eventually may lead to brain dysfunction or dementia.
Does it sound terrible? But don't be afraid. The simplest solution is to recognize the harm of hearing loss as soon as possible and select appropriate hearing aids as soon as possible. Wearing hearing aids will improve your life quality now and in the future!
