Did you know that hearing well is an important part of healthy aging? While most people think of problems with speech understanding and participating in communication, hearing health has a far greater impact on a person’s overall health. Recent study findings indicate that wearing hearing aids can help slow down loss of thinking and memory abilities further underlining the huge potential of a holistic approach to hearing care. Recognizing that hearing health is interconnected with various aspects of an individual‘s life, more and more experts advocate for a holistic approach to hearing care going forward. Offering an extensive individual assessment, counseling, and education on hearing loss and its impact on cognitive health, we support customers in living their life to the fullest and to stay cognitively fit. #CognitiveHealth #HearingCare

Promising insights: several highly regarded studies have recently provided new evidence on the link between hearing health and cognitive health. The ACHIEVE study by the Johns Hopkins University, investigated whether hearing intervention reduces cognitive decline in older adults with hearing loss. They found that hearing intervention slowed down loss of thinking and memory abilities by 48% over 3 years. The ENHANCE study by Professor Julia Sarant from the University of Melbourne, came to a similar result: hearing aid users could maintain their cognitive abilities over 3 years, whereas the participants without hearing intervention showed a decline in cognitive functions over the same time. Her conclusion: referral for hearing screening & rehabilitation may assist with delaying cognitive decline in older adults. #HearingLoss #Dementia

9 out of 10 patients with tinnitus also have hearing loss. In many cases, hearing aids can provide relief from tinnitus while also improving quality of life and communication. Tinnitus sound therapy technology in hearing aids can help alleviate subjective tinnitus noise in individuals with hearing loss. For those experiencing bothersome tinnitus, advanced tinnitus management can complement hearing systems to provide additional relief. Best practice combines a thorough individual tinnitus history and education, as well as advanced counseling, such as evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
