Still, the fact that hearing loss can actually lead to more serious health problems is relatively unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss is a common condition, especially amongst older people, mainly due to the fact that permanent hair cell damage (a key cause of hearing loss) occurs over time. For example, as many as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/thehearingjournal\/fulltext\/2019\/09000\/hearing_loss_and_dementia__breakthrough_research.1.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/thehearingjournal\/fulltext\/2019\/09000\/hearing_loss_and_dementia__breakthrough_research.1.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30% of adults aged 65 or over and 55% of those aged 80 or over<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show some degree of hearing loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the frequency of this affliction, its risks are not to be understated.

This obstruction is often treatable with medicine or surgery, so make sure to see your doctor if you are experiencing hearing loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other types of hearing loss are more complicated and can affect the way the inner ear or the auditory nerve works. This type of hearing loss is much harder to treat, and unfortunately, much more common.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s possible to measure hearing loss in different degrees; mild, moderate, severe and profound. Those with mild hearing loss may miss certain things in conversations, especially in noisy environments, but those with severe or profound hearing loss will only be able to hear loud sounds of certain frequencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy for those with mild hearing loss to ignore it and carry on without visiting their doctor or getting a hearing test. No matter how small, it\u2019s best to catch hearing loss as soon as it starts to occur, as untreated hearing loss can lead to other issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Happens_if_Hearing_Loss_is_not_Treated\"><b>What Happens if Hearing Loss is not Treated?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The adverse effects of hearing loss can work together to exacerbate health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although researchers are still investigating the precise nature of how the brain\u2019s structure changes with hearing loss, brain scans have shown that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5544491\/\" title=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5544491\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hearing loss can lead to faster atrophy of the brain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, those with hearing loss tend to experience <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audiology.org\/publications\/guidelines-and-standards\/untreated-hearing-loss-linked-depression-social-isolation\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.audiology.org\/publications\/guidelines-and-standards\/untreated-hearing-loss-linked-depression-social-isolation\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a greater level of social isolation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Not taking part in social events, or not feeling as if you are able to, can even lead to depression. These things considered, it\u2019s unsurprising that hearing loss can have a severe impact on the mental (and physical) health of sufferers, particularly those in old age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the damage doesn\u2019t end here. These factors also work together to contribute to a higher risk of developing dementia and can worsen the disease in existing sufferers, leading to faster cognitive decline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Can_Hearing_Loss_Cause_Memory_Problems\"><b>Can Hearing Loss Cause Memory Problems?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If left untreated, yes, hearing loss can lead to memory problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Hearing loss can make it much more difficult for you to participate socially, whether this is engaging in fast-moving conversations or chatting on the phone. This can lead people to withdraw from their social lives and places a strain on relationships with family and friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this results in a more isolated and quiet life where your brain is not being constantly challenged like it used to be, your mind will go from working very hard to not having to work very much at all. This can be detrimental to your memory health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s always important to keep your brain active, especially in old age, but hearing loss can act as an obstacle to engaging in the mental challenges of daily life, with repercussions down the line. Researchers have even found that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aan.com\/PressRoom\/Home\/PressRelease\/1625\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aan.com\/PressRoom\/Home\/PressRelease\/1625\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people with central hearing loss (a rare type of hearing loss that affects the auditory nerve) are twice as likely to have mild cognitive impairment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as people who have no hearing loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there may also be a correlation between the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive decline, hearing loss can undoubtedly contribute to the deterioration of memory health and other mental capacities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Does_Hearing_Loss_Increase_the_Risk_of_Dementia\"><b>Does Hearing Loss Increase the Risk of Dementia?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of both hearing loss and dementia already align, meaning hearing loss can be easily misdiagnosed as dementia (or at least, can make dementia symptoms seem worse). Confusion in conversations, changes of communication behaviour, and reports of stress and fatigue can be indicative of both conditions, as can a general difficulty in completing daily tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent research on the relationship between hearing loss and dementia <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimers.org.uk\/news\/2018-05-02\/study-confirms-link-between-hearing-loss-and-dementia-older-adults\" title=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimers.org.uk\/news\/2018-05-02\/study-confirms-link-between-hearing-loss-and-dementia-older-adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has revealed a possible causal link<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This is because your ears detect subtle but important cues that help with your balance, and hearing loss mutes these signals.
