Hearing is a lot more
than just capturing
sound waves — it plays
a signi昀椀cant role in
brain health.
hearing is improved with hearing
aids, the brain receives more
information, making it easier
to recall conversations and
events. Put more simply, if you
don’t hear what someone says,
how can you remember it?
Boosts Memory
Hearing plays a crucial role
in memory. When we listen
to conversations, our brains
process and store information.
It’s harder to understand and
remember details if we don’t
hear clearly. Studies show that
people with good hearing perform
better on memory tests. When
May Increase Cognition
The diseases and disorders that
underlie destructive cognitive
changes can affect memory,
thinking, decision-making,
ambulation, and more. Research
shows that untreated hearing
loss may be one of the more
prominent risk factors for
impaired brain health. When
hearing declines, the brain gets
less stimulation, which may
weaken important areas of it
devoted to processing sensory
inputs that help encode memories
and perform other functions.
Studies suggest that people
who wear hearing aids are
less likely to exhibit symptoms
of cognitive decline because
