Why hearing healthcare matters

Ears Train the Brain: clEAR Auditory Brain Training
Hot off the press (Wei et al., 2017), this meta-analysis of cohort studies suggests that the link between hearing loss and age-related cognitive decline is not due to a shared, common neurodegenerative process.  Because hearing loss typically precedes cognitive decline, the authors suggest the following  ways that a decline in hearing ability might cause a decline in cognition:

·      1.   “Auditory deprivation may cause decreased socialization and increased depression, as well as a decline in cognitive function, which can result in mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
·        2.  Hearing impairment [may] cause cognitive resources to be diverted from memory function into auditory processing, which creates an excessive cognitive load on higher cortical functions, leading to cognitive decline.
·         3. Hearing impairment may modify the auditory pathway and the brain.” (pg. 449)

·         The use of amplification and follow-up clEAR auditory brain training may be critical elements in staving off cognitive decline. Now more than ever, older adults need to be counselled about the importance of hearing healthcare.
