Source: Hearing.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Research throughout the past couple of decades has proven that hearing health has a significant impact on overall health. Hearing loss is associated with balance problems, falls, social isolation, loneliness, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Healthy hearing may provide you with physical and mental health benefits in the following ways:<\/p>\n Not only can our ears provide us with positive health and security benefits, but they can also signal that there may be an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed. Because our hearing relies on good circulation, hearing loss can be an early sign of diabetes7<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0or cardiovascular issues8<\/sup><\/span>. Listen to your ears! A simple hearing test should be added to your healthcare routine to stay vital and aware of your overall health.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In recent research by the Hearing Industries Association (HIA), it was found that on average, people wait four years before acting on their hearing loss after they notice there may be an issue.9<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0During this time, many people rely on coping mechanisms such as avoiding certain social situations, hobbies, and phone conversations, asking others to repeat themselves or speak louder, as well as adjusting the volume on the TV and other electronics.<\/p>\n Hearing loss may occur gradually over time, and it’s important to act as soon as you notice (or are told by family members) that your hearing may be getting worse. The following symptoms may indicate that you should have your hearing checked:<\/p>\n If you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms above, visit a hearing professional to have your hearing tested. The results will help you understand your level of hearing loss, if present, and a professional can guide you to the best treatment options for your hearing and lifestyle needs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n References:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>\u00a0Why depression and untreated hearing loss are linked.
