5 Benefits of Treating Hearing Loss and Tinnitus
Improved Quality of Life
By wearing your hearing technology, you have the ability to be more actively engaged in
conversations. If in noise, you are more able to block out extraneous sounds. It also strengthens your ability to respond to what is being said versus trying to figure it out.
Increased Cognitive Function
Treating your hearing loss reduces strain by maintaining & establishing neural
networks and re-organizing the auditory pathways back to their designed positions.
Reducing the Experience of Tinnitus
Treating hearing loss provides the brain with the stimulation that it expects so it can mask the internal noise and eventually correct the irregular neural connections responsible for the tinnitus.
Reduced Dementia Risk
Hearing loss makes the brain work harder, forcing it to strain and fill in the gaps. This leaves less energy for other thinking and memory systems and overall cognitive function. Memory contributes to symptoms relating to dementia. So, with hearing loss, rather than committing information to memory, you have to figure out what information was there, by the time you figure ti out, others have moved on.
Reduced Risk of Falling
Restoring what you can hear helps you sense where you are in your environment. This helps you take more sure steps, promoting better balance and reduces the risk of falling.
