CNN: “Hearing aids may reduce your risk of dementia by half, study says”
Posted by
CNN reports that a new study published in The Lancet indicates that hearing aids may cut your risk of dementia in half.
“That was very impressive to see that in the unhealthy individuals they were able to slow the rate of cognitive decline by 48%.
The study indicated that hearing aids weren’t the only factor in decreasing the risks for dementia, but were one of the first lines of defense.
“Even if you have only mild hearing loss, use an aid. It is a simple, effective and practically risk-free method to preserve your cognition as much as possible.
