Woman considering hearing aids as she looks at her image in a mirror.

You’ve been in search of a way to protect your youthfulness as you get older.

You’ve tried to find it in your diet, supplements, exercise. You’ve spent more money than you’d like to admit on retinol creams and hair growth programs. You’ve even tried out yoga. You can stay happy and youthful at any age.

But the good news is, there’s an inexpensive way to keep that youthful happy feeling which has scientific support. Yet, among individuals who would benefit, less than 16% are taking advantage of it.

The “trick” is easy – they’re using their hearing aids to deal with their hearing loss.

As we age, this might be the trick to remaining youthful and happy.

Is Hearing Loss Very Common?

The possibility of experiencing hearing loss goes up substantially by age 45. It even affects children as young as 12.

As reported by a scientific study, 11% of people between the ages of 45 and 54 were experiencing some amount of hearing loss. It goes up to 90% by age 80. Almost 25% of those aged 65 to 74, and 50 percent of individuals 75 and over, are dealing with disabling hearing loss.

Also, men younger than 70 are two times as likely to have hearing loss than women in the same age group.

Contrary to common notion most instances of hearing loss happen as a result of exposure to loud noise not aging. Some people are exposed to more damaging sounds than others during the course of their lives.

Hearing loss isn’t an inevitability, but failing to treat your hearing loss has been demonstrated by consistent studies, to affect your overall health, happiness, and youthfulness.

But hearing aids are worn by just 1 out of 7 people who actually need them.

Your Hearing Aid is The Secret to Happiness And Youthfulness

The following outcomes have been directly linked to using hearing aids:

  • Engaging in social situations 20% more often

You’ll concur, being with others is one of the things that make life worthwhile. When you spend time taking part in things you enjoy, with those you love, you feel younger and happier.

Individuals with hearing loss who use their hearing aids are more likely to stay active and social.

  • Being 30% less likely to suffer from depression

Feelings which are associated with depression-like loneliness and sadness, according to some studies, are not as likely to be reported when someone who has hearing loss regularly uses their hearing aid.

Feeling as if people are attempting to avoid them or are angry with them is also less likely. They’re less likely to isolate themselves from others.

Greater happiness is the result of less depression.

  • Less likelihood of experiencing mental decline

If you have a person in your family that has dementia you know all too well how scary that can be. It takes longer for a person with cognitive decline to understand things and they are frequently forgetting what they said and did which makes them feel older.

As the decline goes on, they lose many of the things that make them happy and youthful because they become unable to do them.

If your risk of getting dementia and Alzheimer’s can be reduced by simply using hearing aids, shouldn’t that be what you’re doing.

  • Falling danger decreased by 30%

As we age, the risk of falling and injuring ourselves becomes a bitter reality. We’re not as stable as we were in the past. A hospital stay and several weeks of rehab may be the consequence if a bad fall leads to a fracture.

That’s not a place you want to be. It’s no fun to be hospitalized in pain.

You’re happier when you’re able to get around easily. You’re less likely to be startled because you’re more confident with your movements.

Wearing your hearing aid will allow you to spend more time with friends and family and less time cooped up in a hospital bed.

  • Misunderstandings and arguments are 30% less likely

How many times have you been involved in a misunderstanding because you failed to hear what someone actually said. Or, perhaps, a friend raises her voice so you can hear her more clearly, but you think she’s yelling at you.

A considerable strain on relationships can be the outcome of untreated hearing loss. Resentment, sadness, anger, and other undesirable emotions are frequently the outcome. But wearing your hearing aid helps you hear better, which will create more positive connections with your family and friends. Helping you remain youthful and happy at any age.

Whatever you’ve lost, get it back

Have you been wearing your hearing aid? Many of the simple joys in life that you’ve been missing include:

  • The laughter of children
  • Nature sounds outdoors
  • Music
  • Social clubs and outings
  • Conversations with friends and family without needing them to speak up

If you have hearing loss, you might still hear these things to some extent but they are probably not as enjoyable.
