Hidden Risks of Hearing Loss (The Dementia Connection)

Did you know that untreated hearing loss can have serious consequences for your brain health?

As a brain-based education company, we're dedicated to helping people improve not just their pain and performance issues but their cognitive abilities and health, which makes this discussion vitally important.

A growing body of research has shown that when the brain has to work harder to process sounds due to hearing loss, this can result in changes to brain structure and function. Over time, these changes are associated with cognitive decline, memory loss and an increased risk of Alzheimer's in some populations.

In this video, we explore the often-overlooked connection between hearing loss and dementia, consider theories about why this may occur, and offer some quick recommendations for you on next steps.

Numerous old people (>90) have long term hearing loss but don’t suffer from dementia.

And, numerous old folks suffer from dementia but no loss of hearing.

Hearing loss can lead to social isolation, and that can be credible. And, it can increase the likelihood of falling, that might be true.

Therefore, hearing loss might indirectly lead to social isolation hence might lead to loneliness hence possibly lead to depression. Not proven to be directly. And, definitely not the same for all people. If a person is always socially inactive by choice, having hearing loss most likely will not cause him to feel loneliness.

In the past decades, we had witnessed so many of the new “findings”. Remember the nutrition pyramid, which went from upright to tip-down. Remember the horrors of eating eggs? There was even one time in history when sugar was considered most healthy.
Nothing has been proven for certain.

Only one thing is believable: the revenues of the hearing aid manufacturers go up.

Hearing aids can prevent dementia. How about Airpod Pro? Can Airpod Pro also prevent dementia to certain extent, if the user finds it to be effective to improve his hearing say, by 80%?

If possible, could you find out for us if an OTC earbud such as the the Airpod Pro 2 (or any other make/brand) can also prevent the onset of Dementia? More specifically, if we use the Airpod Pro 2 as a hearing aid device AND if the hearing gets improved tremendously (to the extent of able to effectively socialize and interact with friends like any normal people), will that be similar (of course, not exactly the same) to a prescribed hearing aid in terms of minimizing dementia? Thanks.
