🧠Many people know that hearing loss can lead to issues with memory, attention, and cognition. Something that is less well known is that hearing loss can lead to issues with balance and increased risk of falls, too!   👂Poor hearing can lead to issues with spatial awareness, which impacts your overall balance. Additionally, poor hearing increases the cognitive resources that your brain is putting towards listening, which means your brain doesn’t have as many cognitive resources remaining to put towards other things, like keeping your balance and not falling. ⚖️If you’re having concerns with your balance, it is important to check your hearing, too, because hearing loss may be contributing to your balance issues.

📊A recent meta analysis in 2023 reviewed many studies pertaining to age related hearing loss with cognitive impairments and dementia. Clinically, we routinely see that patients with hearing loss struggle to hear speech amidst background noise or competing speech. Interestingly, this is a challenge that might manifest several years before the onset of dementia! 🧠 ⌛This stresses the importance in the early identification of hearing loss. Early intervention is critical in effectively preventing cognitive impairment and dementia among older adults. Age related hearing loss, ranked the third most formidable chronic disability among older adults, demonstrates its potential relationship with cognitive impairment and dementia! 🔗At Holistic Audiology we understand the complexity of hearing–from the ear to the BRAIN! Our goal is to care for our patients and create treatment plans that are customized to THEM and their unique needs.

🖍️When we think about hearing loss, we often immediately picture the aging population. Children with hearing loss can sometimes get forgotten. It is well known that hearing loss can lead to feelings of isolation and depression in adults… and the same is true for hearing loss in children! 😔  👂 Research published in 2022 found that children with hearing loss were more likely to show symptoms of depression and to report that they’re bullied. 💗Children with hearing loss need support from their families and friends just like adults with hearing loss do.🦻At Holistic Audiology we can provide Auditory training techniques to help make the connection between the sounds your child hears and how the brain processes them as well. #HearingLossInKids #ChildHearingSupport #HearingAidHeros #HolisticAudiology #EarBrainConnection
