Keep Your Mind Sharp With Clear Hearing
Did you know that individuals with hearing loss are at an increased risk for developing cognitive decline and dementia? It’s true. New research finds that treating hearing loss is the single most modifiable way to reduce the risk of dementia. While your risk of dementia increases with the degree of hearing loss, it is important to note that even mild hearing loss can increase your risk by as much as 200%! If you or a loved one struggles to hear clearly, our audiologists excel at reducing dementia risk in Brooklyn Heights, NY.
Take a minute to ask yourself:
- Is it difficult to hear a conversation when there is background noise such as when you’re in a restaurant?
- Are you cheating by reading lips or relying on situational context?
- Are others asking you to turn down the TV or radio frequently?
- Is most of what you hear muffled and difficult to make out, even though it is loud enough?
- Do you have trouble following a conversation in the car?
- Do you find yourself guessing at words often, sometimes incorrectly?
- Are you uncomfortable in social situations because you are worried about hearing?
- Do you ask others to repeat themselves often, more loudly or slowly?
- Have multiple family members or friends approached you about your hearing?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, you’re not alone! Whether you suffer from slight or significant hearing loss, your cognitive abilities are likely to be adversely affected.
