Our five senses are so important to how we function in our daily lives. As we age some of our senses can deteriorate, one of those is hearing.

🦻Your ears pick up small clues that aid with balance while you walk. Hearing loss muffles these vital signals, and hearing aid users wait an average of ten years before seeking help.

🦻It's natural to be concerned that hearing loss indicates aging—and to want to hide it. Many people with hearing impairments choose to remain silent rather than participate in conversations and activities.

🦻Despite the fact that almost 27 million Americans aged 50 and up suffer from hearing loss, only one in every seven of them utilizes a hearing aid. If you believe your hearing has deteriorated, schedule an appointment with an audiologist for a hearing evaluation.

If you or a loved ones is showing signs of hearing loss, consult a physician and audiologist.

🦻Approximately 30 percent of adults aged 65 and older and 55 percent older than 80 years show some degree of hearing loss. The number of people affected by age-related hearing loss is estimated to grow to 580 million worldwide by 2050. In 2015, 47 million people worldwide were living with dementia, amassing a global cost of $818 billion, according to a study published in The Lancet Commissions (Lancet. 2017 Dec 16;390[10113]:2673-2734). By 2050, when the proportion of people older than 60 years will double, accounting for 21 percent of the projected global population, the number of those living with dementia is expected to triple, costing nearly $2 trillion. The risk of developing dementia doubles for older adults with mild hearing loss, and triples for those with moderate hearing loss. And for those with severe hearing loss, the risk is five times that of someone who does not suffer hearing loss. Notably, the Lancet study also found that of nine potential risk factors for developing dementia, hearing loss was the highest at nine percent.

🧠 In addition, recent research has found that shrinkage of brain tissue is fast-tracked for those with hearing loss, with accelerated rates of brain atrophy compared to those with normal hearing [citation here]. Overall, those with hearing loss were found to have lost more than an additional cubic centimeter of brain tissue each year compared with those without impaired hearing.-Journals.LWW

👨‍💻New data from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, show that our nation needs a fundamental shift in how Alzheimer’s research and clinical trials are designed and funded to overcome urgent health equity challenges.

🧠Alzheimer’s — a progressive brain disease that slowly erodes memory and executive function over time — disproportionately affects people of color, yet health disparities in Alzheimer’s treatment and research remain under-addressed.

🙋🏾‍♂️💁🏽‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️Black Americans are approximately two times more likely, and Hispanic Americans are 1.5 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than non-Hispanic white people, and those numbers are likely to increase. Yet these groups make up less than 10% of participants in currently enrolled NIA-funded Alzheimer’s research.-STATNews

✅ 74 percent don’t know that hearing loss is damaging to the brain.

✅ 64 percent don’t know lack of sleep can reduce the size of the brain.

✅ 50 percent don’t know about the relationship between emotional well-being and brain health.

📑 The survey also demonstrates the need for greater awareness about how to protect the brain, with 70 percent of Americans admitting they aren’t knowledgeable about ways to prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
