Why is it important to wear hearing aids even at home?
The use of hearing aids is undoubtedly valuable when it comes to communication and social interaction, but what happens when you choose to stay at home?
Is it still necessary to wear your hearing aids?
The answer is Yes!
Wearing your hearing aids at home is just as important and can provide significant benefits to your health, safety, and overall quality of life.
At first, when using hearing aids, the sounds around you may seem overwhelming, such as the hum of the refrigerator or the ticking of a clock. However, with daily use, these sounds will become more familiar and will naturally blend into your environment.
Additionally, wearing hearing aids, even at home, helps your brain process sounds, keeping it alert and enhancing its cognitive health. A study conducted by Dr. Frank Lin and his team at Johns Hopkins University, which tracked 639 adults over 12 years, found that adults with moderate to severe hearing loss are up to five times more likely to develop cognitive decline and dementia compared to people with normal hearing.
Safety at home is just as important as safety outdoors, as a secure home environment directly contributes to a person’s well-being.
According to the American Academy of Audiology, hearing loss can increase the risk of falls by 30%.
Modern hearing aids, such as Starkey’s Fall Alert-enabled devices, recognize falls and automatically notify your loved ones or caregiver through a mobile app, providing a sense of security and confidence within your home.
In conclusion, wearing hearing aids at home, whether you’re with others or alone, is crucial for your overall hearing, safety, and quality of life.
