THIS month marks the annual World HealthDay. Fergusons Hearing Aid Clinic thought it worthwhile to explore how hearing loss plays a significant role in our physical and mental wellbeing.
A growing body of research links hearing loss to dementia and cognitive decline. When we hear our best, it’s easy to stay engaged, alert and active. When hearing is impaired, our sense of space shrinks, warning cues get missed, and we withdraw from social activities or situations. This leaves our physical and mental health vulnerable.
Adults with hearing loss are up to five times more likely to develop dementia with hearing loss being linked to a three-fold risk of falling.
Accidental injuries are up to 50 per cent more likely for people with hearing loss. These are just a few reasons to address any hearing loss that you may have.
