Although the brain becomes smaller with age, the shrinkage seems to be fast-tracked in older adults with hearing loss, according to the results of a study by researchers from Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging. The findings add to a growing list of health consequences associated with hearing loss, including increased risk of dementia, falls, hospitalizations, and diminished physical and mental health overall.

HEARING LOSS & ITS CAUSES

Hearing Loss Linked to Accelerated Brain Tissue Loss
Hearing loss is a common problem with real consequences. Don’t let your active lifestyle be affected by hearing loss. Hearing researchers believe that hearing loss in older adults is the result of one or more causes, such as exposure to loud noises, family history, medications or the natural aging process. Experts recommend having your hearing checked once a year, just as you do your eyes.

Many people today still believe we hear with our ears but our ears are just a conduit to help get the information to the brain.
Watch this short video that explains how sound waves are picked up by our ears and how that energy is sent to our brain.

Tinnitus
What we Offer
hearing aid Insurance vs. BENEFIT Programs
Tinnitus is not a condition or a disease, it’s a symptom.
Tinnitus is a medical term for the sensation of hearing sound in your ears or head. Typically, sufferers describe the sound as “ringing in ears” though others describe the sound as buzzing, chirping, hissing, whistling or roaring. Tinnitus can be a symptom of high blood pressure, an ear infection, or most common, a hearing loss.

Hearing Aid Myths That Hold You Back
Can hearing aids reduce these risks? Dr. Lin hopes to find out in a new study, still in the planning stages. “These studies have never been done before,” he notes. “What we do know is that there’s no downside to using hearing aids. They help most people who try them. And in those people, they can make all the difference in the world—allowing people to reengage with friends and family and to be more involved again.”
Although nearly 27 million Americans age 50 and older have hearing loss, only one in seven uses a hearing aid. If you think your hearing has diminished, it’s worth making an appointment with an audiologist for a hearing check, Dr. Lin says. If you have hearing loss, don’t let the following myths keep you from getting help. The Hidden risks of Hearing Loss, JohnsHopkinsmedicine.org
“My hearing’s not that bad.”
Hearing aid users wait, on average, 10 years before getting help for hearing loss. But during that time, communication with loved ones becomes more difficult, and isolation and health risks increase. “Our findings emphasized just how important it is to be proactive in addressing any hearing declines over time,” says Lin. *John Hopkins University. JohnsHopkinsmedicine.org
“Wearing hearing aids means I’m old, and I’m not ready for that.”
It’s normal to feel worried that hearing loss means you’re aging—and to want to hide it. Plenty of people with a hearing impairment sit silently rather than joining in conversations and activities, because they fear that hearing problems will make them seem helpless or less than competent. The truth: Connecting with others can help your brain stay younger and keep you involved with life. JohnsHopkinsmedicine.org
“I don’t like the way hearing aids look.”
Forget the old days of big, whistling earpieces. Today’s hearing aids and cochlear implants are smaller (and less conspicuous) than ever before. Even celebrities (like former president Bill Clinton and football Hall of Famer Mike Singletary) are wearing them proudly. JohnsHopkinsmedicine.org
“I heard that hearing aids are difficult to use.”
There is a breaking-in period as you—and your central auditory system and brain—adjust to life with hearing aids. That’s why most doctors and hearing centers include a trial period, so you can be sure the type you’ve chosen—whether it’s a miniature behind-the-ear model or one that fits into your ear—is right for you. JohnsHopkinsmedicine.org
“Hearing aids cost too much.”
At present, very few states require health insurers to cover the cost of hearing aids for people of all ages. As a result, 61 percent of users pay the bill themselves. At an average price of $2,350 per ear which includes the equipment, fittings and evaluations, hearing aids can take a bite out of your budget. Factor in the high cost of hearing loss, however, and it is money well spent.
