Well-hearing is Well-being
Hearing well is linked to everything we do – every single day.
Good hearing is essential to physical and emotional wellness
Many of us will know someone who has experienced a decline in hearing health. It can be sad to see a once vibrant and engaging loved one start to withdraw because they can’t hear well enough to keep up with conversations around the table. It tugs at the heartstrings to see someone you care about sitting alone, missing out on a conversation with their family and friends.
We need to change the conversation about hearing loss and remove the fear and denial that often comes with it.
Instead of talking about hearing loss, let’s think about what you gain when you hear well, allowing you to live life to the fullest. It is important for your overall health and wellbeing to stay connected to family and friends. A recent study found that for those 65 and older, hearing loss had a greater impact on their life than cardiac disease, stroke, osteoporosis, sciatica, cancer, and many other common health conditions1.
Hearing loss is no longer an indicator of age. Many of us will experience hearing loss earlier than we expect. Early screening, testing, and intervention are key to living a full life. The right hearing aid can allow you to immerse yourself in the wonders of the world around you. Marvel in the majesty of nature, explore new places, learn something new every day, and cherish moments with those you love.
Well-hearing is vital to your overall well-being. Healthy hearing can result in many positive outcomes and is essential for your physical, mental and emotional health.
The health impacts of hearing loss
The outcomes for people that neglect their hearing health can be devastating. The silent risks of hearing loss include:
- Faster rate of deterioration in the brain
- Social isolation and loneliness
- Anxiety and depression
- Increased risk of developing dementia
- Greater risk of falls
