Columbia University researchers found that for every 10 decibel loss in hearing loss, cognitive ability may “prematurely decay” 4 years. Therefore, even if the hearing test results are only mild hearing loss, it is necessary to conduct timely hearing intervention in order to maximize the cognitive function of the brain. Interventions such as hearing aids can help the hearing impaired to hear the “lost” sound signal and maintain the hearing sensitivity of the brain.

The sooner you intervene, the happier your life will be.

The National Academy of Sciences study found that if hearing loss occurs, if it is not promptly intervened, it will directly affect the quality of life of the elderly, the deaf, and even social isolation. According to Columbia University research, the probability of social isolation increases by about 10% for each hearing loss of 52 decibels.

According to statistics, social isolation has almost the same mortality rate as smoking and alcohol abuse. If you can intervene in a timely manner when you find hearing problems, you can avoid social isolation and maintain or improve the quality of life of the elderly. Older and weaker people will continue to enjoy all the beautiful sounds in the world, such as the laughter of children, the sound of birds, the sound of waves hitting the beach…

The earlier the intervention, the higher the sense of security.

The sense of security here refers to the sense of certainty and controllability of the hearing-impaired person. In recent years, the directional technology of hearing aids has been further improved. The current directional technology not only allows the hearing impaired to hear the sound signal in front, but also allows the hearing impaired to hear the sound from the side and the rear. For example, when driving, whether the weak person is in the driver’s seat, the passenger’s seat or the back seat, he can hear the sound from all directions – safe driving and peace of mind.

In addition to the certainty of the sound source, the directional technology also adds adjustable parameters, allowing the hearing impaired to choose the listening direction and increase the controllability in their different environments, thus further enhancing the sense of security.

The sooner you intervene, the less you pretend.

Today’s hearing aids allow the hearing impaired to hear the original sound and help them live and work better. After hearing impairment, the most frustrating situation for hearing loss is often the inability to integrate into other people’s conversations. For example, some people share jokes, others have happy smiles on their faces, and the weak listeners can only hang on the face with a fake smile. The latest hearing aid technology can “decipher” more verbal details, such as the consonant “b\s\f\t\z”, to enhance the speech clarity of the hearing impaired, help them unload camouflage and talk easily.

The earlier the intervention, the richer the social activities.

It is generally believed that hearing loss is an inevitable phenomenon in the elderly. However, a series of life problems caused by hearing loss have received little attention. The same hearing loss occurs in different older people and can lead to different levels of life problems. For example, it is also a mild hearing loss. An elderly person with frequent social activities must have more problems than those who are relatively leisurely.

Researchers from the Finnish Academy of Sciences conducted an 848 year observation of 2 seniors and found that the probability of choosing an out-of-town activity place with hearing impairment is about twice that of a normal hearing. Older people with hearing impairment have fewer daily activities than normal hearing.

Today’s hearing aids can help people with hearing loss to regain their social life. Because the current hearing aid is like a miniature robot, it can automatically detect the surrounding environment and provide the best speech clarity after being “trained” by the hearing impaired.
