It’s like a potential insurance policy against a host of problematic aging issues, including anxiety, depression, social isolation, and even dementia.A study by The National Council on Aging shines some light on the benefits of treating hearing loss. They surveyed 2,300 hearing impaired adults, 50 and older, some who have treated their hearing loss with hearing aids, and some who haven’t.The hearing fact above highlights some of what people without hearing aids said.
