The hazards of deafness in the elderly

Older people do not have good hearing, and they should wear hearing aids in time. Otherwise, hearing will be worse or worse and lead to deafness. Because of the aging of the body, the shrinking of the cochlear hair cells, the deterioration of the hearing center, and so on, the hearing is declining and even deafness, so many elderly people always complain that they are “audible but inaudible”.

Not wearing hearing aids is prone to Alzheimer’s disease

Older people have poor hearing and not wearing hearing aids can cause Alzheimer’s. When the human body hears the sound, the brain will be excited when it receives the sound signal. If the sound is not heard, the consciousness will be in an unexcited state, the brain will lose its vitality, and the response to the outside world will slow down. Over time, hearing loss will make the elderly unresponsive, reduce language ability, and reduce communication. This will not only affect the quality of life of the elderly, but also cause a series of psychological problems such as loneliness, apathy, depression, etc., and may also lead to Alzheimer’s disease. .

Not wearing hearing aids affects mental health

Older people have poor hearing, and wearing a hearing aid can affect mental health development. According to scientific studies, older people with hearing impairment have worse thinking and memory than those with normal hearing. Hearing loss, the brain’s stimulation of the sound is reduced, and it takes more energy to process the sound, thus sacrificing some of the energy that was originally used to deal with memory and thinking. In the long run, the thinking and memory of the elderly will decline. Therefore, the elderly will have difficulties in communication and reduced communication in their lives. Over time, the elderly lost their social interest and gradually separated themselves from the outside world, becoming silent and psychologically inferior. Older people have poor hearing and do not wear hearing aids seriously affect the mental health of the elderly.

Our understanding and understanding of the world is based on verbal communication. Older people have poor hearing and must wear hearing aids in time. However, it should be noted that hearing aids cannot be purchased blindly and must be professionally tested before they can be used.
