Published by HearingLife, October 13, 2020 You may have heard that studies have shown there is an important link between hearing loss and dementia. Now, new research highlights that wearing hearing aids can protect you from cognitive decline. The Lancet Commission published a new study on hearing loss and dementia on July 30, 2020, which shows that hearing loss is the largest modifiable risk factor against dementia. According to the report, dementia risk varies based on level of hearing loss: • Mild hearing loss doubles the dementia risk. • Moderate hearing loss triples the risk. • Severe hearing impairment increases dementia risk of up to 5 times that of those who do not have hearing impairment.
