Hearing Aids Reduce Signs of Aging

As we get older, the natural thing to do is everything that we can to hold onto our youth. The outside of the body is just cladding and doesn't often reflect how we feel on the inside. Our bodies don't shine with the same vibrancy and youthful fun that our brains do and that can be very difficult to handle as we get older. The thing is, you can do all that you can to hold onto your youth but if you’re refusing to see a hearing instrument specialist and get fitted for hearing aids, you are losing out! 

You might be exercising and looking after your diet, taking your vitamins and going for regular massages, but when was the last time you got your hearing tested? Hearing aids may be tied up in stigma and can make you feel old, but they shouldn't. This isn't the time for ear horns and hearing tubes; this is the time for Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids that sit into the ear canal and remain invisible.

This is the time for medical miracles in miniature, with hearing aids that are discreet and sit away from the outside of your ear. Keeping your hands wrapped around your youth is so much easier with hearing aids, as they are linked to reducing the signs of aging.

Is Hearing Loss Common?

Yes, is the short answer! The long answer is that by the time you are 45, your risk of developing hearing loss will shoot up and by the time you’re 80, your hearing loss risk goes up to 90%. Hearing loss is also more common in men under 70 compared to women, and while so many people toggle hearing loss to old age, there’s not enough people being correctly treated for hearing loss.

Over the course of your life, you might be exposed to more loss in your ears than other people. It may not be a done deal that you will lose your hearing, but that doesn't mean that you should ignore it when you do.

Hearing Aids: The Secret to Your Youth

There are so many ways that you can reduce your signs of aging simply by wearing your hearing aids as directed by your hearing instrument specialist. Some of the other ways that your hearing aids will make you feel younger are as follows:

• You are more likely to engage in social activities: This prevents isolation and depression. This will make you feel younger as you’re out there having fun with friends rather than being stuck inside alone. As you’ll be able to hear conversations, you’re far more likely to feel active and more social at the same time. 
• You’re almost 30% less likely to feel depressed: When you’re less isolated, you’re not going to feel as low and depressed as you did before. You won’t feel like people are angry with you or frustrated and you’ll be more likely to include yourself in activities rather than seclude yourself from others. 
• You are less likely to deal with cognitive decline: Hearing loss is closely related to a loss of cognitive thinking. If you know anyone with dementia, then you know it can be terrifying for someone with cognitive decline to process the things that they are always forgetting. When you become more forgetful, you’ll feel older and all you would have needed to do is wear your hearing aids! 
• You are less likely to trip over your own feet: When you can’t hear as well as you would like, you’re less likely to trip over and fall by 30%! Hospital stays and rehab are no longer a problem, taking down your expenses in a big way! Your senses matter if you want to stay upright, so you need to ensure that you aren't dealing with the constant pain of falling down!
• You’ll have fewer arguments: The constant asking people to repeat themselves becomes tiring, but when you can hear those around you, you won’t have that issue anymore. You’ll be able to hear people with more clarity and that can allow you to hear tone and intention in their voices, too. This will remove the considerable strain that was there on your relationships.

If you want to recover your youth, speaking to your audiologist and talking about hearing aids to reduce your signs of aging is a smart idea. You might forget some of the simplest things in life because you didn't think about going to get your hearing tested. If you’re in the grip of trying to hold onto your youth, you’ll have a better chance if you make sure that you can hear. Contact Nu-Life Hearing Center today at (855) 867-7449 today!
