Untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of dementia from three to five times, depending on the degree of hearing loss, according to a 12-year-long study at Johns Hopkins. In their new report, Nano Hearing Aids provides insight into the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for dementia-related hearing loss, helping individuals and caregivers understand the importance of early diagnosis and the benefits of using hearing aids to improve quality of life.
“Several factors can lead to hearing loss in people suffering from dementia. Age is often a culprit, but other common causes can include auditory damage from chronic exposure to noise, and underlying health conditions, like diabetes and hypertension,” says a spokesperson for Nano Hearing Aids. “Recognizing the signs of hearing loss in people with dementia is crucial for early intervention.”
Signs that someone may be experiencing a simultaneous decline in their hearing and their cognitive function can include difficulty discerning speech, lapses in memory and concentration, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, and social withdrawal.
Treatment for this condition can include a combination of cognitive therapies, positive lifestyle changes, and hearing aids which, according to a study at the National Institutes of Health, can reduce the rate of cognitive decline in older adults by almost 50 percent.
For those with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, Nano CIC (completely-in-canal) Digital Recharge OTC Hearing Aids can amplify sound without the use of prescription hearing aids. These over-the-counter devices are designed to be cost-effective, accessible, and customizable. Features such as simple push-button controls make them especially user-friendly for adults with arthritis or dexterity issues, while a variety of ear tips and domes ensure optimal fit and comfort.
Individuals living with dementia and hearing loss can maintain a better quality of life with the right support, says Nano Hearing Aids. Offering a full line of hearing aid models, including the CIC Digital model starting at $297, and the app-controlled Audacity RIC Hearing Aids that allow users to take calls and stream audio, Nano Hearing Aids can help make communication among friends and loved ones easier.
