But we now understand the cognitive abilities (memory &amp; concentration) of people with hearing loss declined up to 40% faster than in people with normal hearing often resulting in dementia.<\/p><p>Researchers have also found that people with hearing loss suffered from more &#8220;deep episodes of stress, depression or bad mood,&#8221; as well as having an increased risk of hospitalization, increased risk of falls and faster rates of brain atrophy (wasting away) than those without hearing impairment.<\/p><p>Now that we know the concern, what do we do about it? The first step to take is to have your hearing tested by a Hearing Care Provider to determine if you have any hearing loss. If the hearing test reveals any concerns, our Provider will work with you to create a individualized hearing treatment plan which may consist of hearing aids or assistive devices.<\/p><p>Take the first step towards preventing cognitive decline today by contacting our office to schedule time to learn more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hearing Lossand Dementia Does Hearing Loss Affect Mental Ability?
