HEARING TIPS

Woman considering hearing aids as she looks at her image in a mirror.

You’ve been in search of a way to protect your youthfulness as you get older.

You’ve tried to find it in with diet, supplements, exercise. You’ve spent more money than you’d like to admit on retinol creams and hair growth products. You even signed up for a Yoga class. It doesn’t matter how old you are, you can remain youthful and happy.

But what if you found out that there’s an easy method to remain happy and feeling young that’s affordable and supported by science. Yet, among individuals who would benefit, fewer than 16% are taking advantage of it.

The “trick” is simple – they’re wearing their hearing aids to manage their hearing loss.

This trick might be the key to feeling happy and youthful as we age.

How Common is Hearing Loss?

By the time you reach the age of 45, your risk of developing hearing loss rises substantially. Even children as young as 12 are impacted.

As reported by a scientific study, 11% of individuals between the ages of 45 and 54 were experiencing some level of hearing loss. It goes up to 90% by age 80. Of those between the ages of 65 and 74, almost 25 % cope with debilitating hearing loss and that number goes up to 50% by age 80.

Furthermore, hearing loss is twice as common with men younger than 70 compared to women in the same age group.

While you probably correlate hearing loss with aging, most hearing loss occurs because of exposure to loud and harmful sounds. Over the course of their lives, some people are exposed to more harmful sound than others.

It isn’t inevitable that an individual will get hearing loss but countless studies have revealed that your overall youthfulness, happiness, and health are impacted by neglecting to deal with any hearing loss you already have.

Yet just 1 out of 7 individuals who should be using hearing aids wear them.

Your Key to Youthfulness And Happiness is Your Hearing Aid

Wearing your hearing aid has been directly related to the following results:

  • participating in social interaction 20% more often

You’ll concur, being with others is one of the things that make life worthwhile. You feel happier and younger when you spend treasured time with people you love doing the activities you take pleasure in.

Individuals are more likely to remain socially active when they wear their hearing aid every day..

  • Being 30% less likely to suffer from depression

Feelings which are associated with depression-like sadness and loneliness, according to some studies, are not as likely to be reported when somebody who has hearing loss routinely wears their hearing aid.

They’re also not as likely to feel like people are angry with them or attempting to avoid them. They’re less likely to seclude themselves from others.

Less depression means increased happiness.

  • Being 24% less likely to suffer from mental decline

If you have someone in your family that is suffering from dementia you know all too well how frightening that can be. Cognitive decline makes people feel older because they’re constantly forgetting, and it takes longer for them to process things.

As cognitive decline worsens, the individuals who are coping with it are no longer capable of doing the things that make them feel happy and youthful.

If the simple act of using your hearing aid can decrease your chances of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, shouldn’t you be wearing it?

  • Falling danger decreased by 30%

The danger of falling and sustaining a serious injury becomes a real concern as we age. When we were younger, we were much more balanced. A nasty fall could cause a serious fracture that leads to a hospital stay and a few weeks of rehab.

That isn’t a place you want to be. Being in pain in the hospital isn’t at all fun.

You’re happier when you’re able to get around easily. You’re more confident in your movements and less likely to be startled.

Hearing aids will make a hospital stay less likely and will let you spend more time with family and friends.

  • Having 30% fewer misunderstandings and arguments

How many times have you been involved in a misunderstanding because you failed to hear what someone actually said. Or perhaps you think someone is yelling at you because they have to raise their voice so you can hear them.

Neglected hearing loss puts a huge strain on your relationships with family and friends. It can result in resentment, anger, sadness, and other adverse emotions. But using your hearing aid helps you hear better, which will create more positive interactions with your friends and family members. Helping you stay happy and youthful at any age.

Whatever you’ve lost, reclaim it

Have you been wearing your hearing aid? Some of the basic joys in life that you’ve been missing include:

  • The sounds of nature at your local park
  • Social clubs and outings
  • The laughter of children
  • Music
  • Conversations with family and friends without asking them to speak louder

You might think you can still hear these things clearly, but if you are suffering from hearing loss, they most likely don’t sound as pleasant as they once did.
