Wellness Wednesday | Dementia Risk Awareness 🧠

Studies have found that individuals with mild hearing loss are about twice as likely to develop dementia, those with moderate hearing loss are three times as likely, and people with severe hearing loss may be up to five times more likely to develop dementia compared to those with normal hearing.

While hearing loss does not directly cause dementia, it can contribute to factors that increase risk, such as reduced social interaction, increased listening effort, and changes in how the brain processes sound.

The good news is that identifying and treating hearing loss early may help support cognitive health and keep you engaged in conversations and daily life.

If you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, scheduling a hearing evaluation is an important step toward protecting both your hearing and brain health. šŸ‘‚

Look, we know it is tempting to click ā€œadd to cartā€ on those hearing aids and call it a day. šŸ‘€ But before you do, getting your hearing checked by a professional can make all the difference!

Here’s why it’s worth it:
• Not all hearing loss is the same. Prescription fit hearing aids are programmed specifically for YOUR hearing loss.
• A proper test ensures you get the right device (not just the most convenient one).
• Some hearing losses have medical origins that need to be evaluated by a medical doctor prior to being fit with hearing aids.
• You’ll avoid wasting money on something that might not actually help.
• Ongoing support = less frustration and better results.

Think of it like glasses: you wouldn’t skip the eye exam, right? šŸ˜‰

Wellness Wednesday | Dementia Risk Awareness 🧠

Dementia is more common than many people realize. In the United States, about 1 in 3 adults age 75 and older are living with some form of dementia. As the population ages, this number is expected to grow.

Throughout June, we’ll be sharing information about dementia, the connection between hearing and cognitive health, and steps you can take to support both your brain and hearing health.

June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month 🧠

1 in 3 older adults dies with some form of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Hearing health also plays an important role in overall brain health. Studies continue to show a connection between untreated hearing loss and increased cognitive strain, social isolation, and dementia risk. Taking care of your hearing is one important step toward taking care of your brain!

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing more information about brain health, dementia awareness, hearing loss, and ways to support healthy aging — stay tuned!

Wellness Wednesday | Better Speech & Hearing Month šŸ‘‚

Your hearing can change gradually over time, often so slowly that it’s hard to notice day to day. That’s why annual hearing evaluations are an important part of protecting your long-term hearing health.

Regular hearing tests allow your provider to track even small changes, catch potential issues early, and ensure that any hearing devices you use are programmed correctly for your current needs. Just like an annual eye exam or physical, routine hearing evaluations help keep you connected to conversations, relationships, and the sounds that matter most.

Think of it as preventative care for your hearing. If it’s been a year (or longer) since your last test, it's time to schedule your next hearing evaluation. šŸ‘‚

Wellness Wednesday | Better Speech & Hearing Month šŸ‘‚

Hearing plays a critical role in how children learn to speak, understand language, and connect with the world around them. When hearing loss goes undetected, it can contribute to delays in speech and language development, learning challenges, and social or emotional difficulties later on.

The good news? Early identification and treatment can make a huge difference.

Signs of hearing loss in children may include:
• Not responding to their name or loud sounds
• Delayed speech or unclear speech compared to peers
• Frequently saying ā€œwhat?ā€ or asking for repetition
• Turning the TV or tablet volume up very high
• Difficulty following directions
• Seeming inattentive or struggling in school
• Watching faces closely when others speak (lip-reading)

If you notice any of these signs, a hearing screening is a simple first step that can help ensure your child has access to the sounds they need to learn and communicate.

Today is World Hypertension Day 🩸

High blood pressure is often called the ā€œsilent killerā€ because many people have it without experiencing noticeable symptoms. Over time, uncontrolled blood pressure can damage blood vessels throughout the body (including the delicate blood supply that supports your inner ear.)

Take control of your blood pressure! Simple steps like staying physically active, eating a heart-healthy diet, reducing sodium, managing stress, and keeping up with regular medical checkups can help keep your blood pressure in a healthy range.
