Because Your Hearing is Important
Quality of Life
Most people would say that quality of life is what we all wish for. You can achieve this by staying connected to the people and things you care most about. Hearing is the bridge between you and the rest of the world. Whether you are speaking to your child, grandchild, or best friend, your ears are allowing you the pleasure of the experience. If you are socializing with a group, going to church or watching a documentary, it is your ears that bring fulfillment.
Mental Health
Hearing problems can create an unhealthy outlook on life. Some of the commonly encountered problems include anxiety, anger, isolation and withdrawal. Avoidance is an especially upsetting technique often used by the hearing impaired. When they find a situation difficult to manage, they stay home. This does not make for a happy and healthy life.
Cognitive Ability
Being sharp of mind is important throughout life. As we age, brain function can diminish. Sensory input, especially hearing, is essential to keeping the brain working at its best. Once we reach our sixth decade of life, the inner ear no longer changes mechanical sound waves into electrochemical energy as effectively. Information from the ear may have more difficulty reaching the brain. If the brain fails to receive enough auditory stimuli, over time, reduced brain function is possible. If you want to maximize brain function and stay sharp, hearing is essential.
Avoiding Dementia
Recent research published in the Archives of Neurology makes clear that hearing can play a pivotal role in reducing the possibility of dementia. Research evidence indicates that 28% of individuals with a moderate hearing loss have dementia. This finding is not surprising in light of the isolation and lack of stimulation that come with hearing loss. Hearing aids are useful in an effort to stop this from occurring.
Avoiding Depression
Lack of fulfillment and isolation can bring internal misery. Depression exists when a person feels life is not worth living. Connection to our world and the things and people we care about are important to our outlook and our zest for life. Not hearing well is a direct threat. Getting older doesn’t mean you can’t stay connected and invested in life. Hearing all that you can may ward off these very negative effects. Only a very small percentage of hearing problems in adults can be treated medically. The vast majority benefit from hearing aids.
Other Factors
The hearing mechanism is adjacent to very important structures in the brain. Some forms of hearing disorder, especially infections and tumors can have important implications for health.
