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

As you’ve been getting older, you’ve probably been trying to find ways to preserve your youthfulness.

Diet, exercise, and vitamins have all been part of your routine. You’ve spent more money than you’d like to admit on wrinkle creams and hair growth products. You even signed up for a Yoga class. You can stay happy and youthful at any age.

But what if we told you there’s an easy way to stay happy and feeling young that’s inexpensive and supported by science. Yet, among individuals who would benefit, less than 16% are taking advantage of it.

The “trick” is simple – they’re using their hearing aids to treat their hearing loss.

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

How Common is Hearing Loss?

By the time you get to the age of 45, your chance of developing hearing loss increases significantly. Even children as young as 12 are impacted.

A study showed that out of all people between 45 and 54, hearing loss is experienced by 11% of them. By age 80 that percentage goes up to 90%. Almost 25% of those aged 65 to 74, and 50 percent of those 75 and over, are suffering from debilitating hearing loss.

Moreover, hearing loss is two times as common with men younger than 70 compared to women in the same age group.

Contrary to common notion most cases of hearing loss develop as a result of exposure to loud noise not aging. Some people are exposed to more damaging noises than others over the course of their lives.

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

But hearing aids are worn by only 1 out of 7 individuals who actually need them.

Your Hearing Aid is The Key to Youthfulness And Happiness

Wearing your hearing aid has been directly linked to the following results:

  • Being 20% more likely to take part in social activities

One thing that makes life wonderful, you’ll agree, is being with other people. You feel happier and younger when you spend cherished time with people you love doing the activities you take pleasure in.

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

  • Having a 30% less-likelihood of depression

Research has revealed that individuals who have hearing loss who wear hearing aids are less likely to report sad feelings and loneliness, which is linked to depression.

They’re also less likely to feel as if people are angry with them or trying to avoid them. It’s not as common for them to practice self isolation.

Greater happiness is the outcome of less depression.

  • Less likelihood of suffering from mental decline

If you have a mom, dad, or aunt with dementia, you know how frightening it is for the family and the person in mental decline. It takes longer for a person with cognitive decline to process things and they are continually forgetting what they said and did which makes them feel older.

As cognitive decline progresses, the people who are dealing with it are no longer capable of doing the things that make them feel happy and youthful.

If the straightforward act of using your hearing aid can reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, shouldn’t you be using it?

  • Falling danger decreased by 30%

As we get older, the danger of falling and hurting ourselves becomes a bitter reality. We’re not as steady as we were in the past. A hospital stay and several weeks of rehab could be the result if a serious fall results in a fracture.

That’s not where you want to spend your time. Being in pain in the hospital isn’t at all fun.

You’re happier when you’re capable of getting around easily. You’re not as likely to be startled because you’re more confident with your movements.

Wearing your hearing aid will let you spend more time with family and friends and less time stuck in a hospital bed.

  • Having 30% fewer misunderstandings and arguments

How many times have you been involved in a misunderstanding because you failed to hear what someone actually said. Or perhaps you think somebody is yelling at you because they have to raise their voice so you can hear them.

Untreated hearing loss puts a tremendous strain on your relationships with friends and family. Resentment, sadness, anger, and other undesirable emotions are typically the outcome. But you will have more positive interactions with family and friends if you can hear better which hearing aids will help you do. Whatever age you may be, this will help you remain youthful and happy.

Reclaim what you’ve lost

Have you been using your hearing aid? You may have forgotten many of the basic joys in life that you’re missing, like the following:

  • Children’s laughter
  • Music
  • Conversations with family and friends without asking them to speak up
  • Social clubs and outings
  • The sounds of nature at your local park

You may believe you can still hear these things clearly, but if you are experiencing hearing loss, they probably don’t sound as enjoyable as they once did.
