Hearing Loss Relation To Brain Function
Studies have shown that untreated hearing loss is linked to a higher risk of conditions
like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
When you lose your ability to hear, your brain has to work harder to interpret and process auditory information.
Over time, these brain regions associated with hearing and communication may shrink or have a permanent damage leading into a cognitive strain and impairment or decline
This "cognitive overload" may lead to mental fatigue which can lead to difficulties with attention, concentration, and memory recall, especially in challenging listening environments and decreased performance in everyday activities.
Can treating hearing loss help protect brain health?
Yes, treating hearing loss—especially early on—can help protect brain health. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other treatments can improve communication and reduce cognitive strain.
By making it easier to hear and engage with the world around you, these treatments may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and support better memory and brain function. Studies have shown that people who use hearing aids report improved cognitive function, social interaction, and overall quality of life.
