Hearing Loss May Lead to an Increased
Feeling of Isolation in Seniors Currently in Quarantine
An estimated 1 out of every 3 individuals over the age of 65 has
some degree of hearing loss, according to estimates from the World
Health Organization.
With COVID-19 still widespread across the country, and an
upcoming holiday season that many may spend in isolation, untreated
hearing loss in the senior population is more than just a nuisance,
it risks deepening feelings of isolation and can lead to more
serious health concerns.
Several scientific studies have shown a correlation between
hearing loss and cognitive deficits. In fact, according to recent
research from John Hopkins, the risk of developing dementia was up
to 5 times more likely in patients with hearing loss, depending on
the severity of their loss.
“Untreated hearing loss has also been linked to many serious
conditions, including depression, Alzheimer’s and diabetes,” says
Dr. Thomas Tedeschi, Chief Audiology Officer for Amplifon Americas.
“With the holiday season upon us, and many of our older loved ones
still unable to fully socialize as in years past, it is more
important than ever to ensure they are getting the care they need,
including prioritizing their hearing health care.”
The good news is that studies, like recent ones published in the
Journal of Clinical Medicine, have shown the potential impact
hearing aid usage may have on helping slow cognitive decline and
improve cognitive performance.
What’s more, hearing aid technology has never been better, and
companies like Miracle-Ear are making great strides in expanding
the possibilities to identify a distinctive hearing care solution
