Description
A new study suggests if you have hearing loss, getting hearing aids can actually lower your risk of getting dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
The study, published in The Lancet back in April but getting national attention now, looked at the correlation between using hearing aids and the risk of "all-cause and cause-specific" dementia among middle-aged and older-aged adults.
What researchers said they found during the study suggests up to 8 percent of dementia cases could actually be prevented by "proper hearing loss management," specifically the use of hearing aids. Because of this, researchers say these findings "might have important clinical and public health implications."
