As you’ve been getting older, you’ve most likely been trying to find ways to conserve your youthfulness.

Diet, exercise, and vitamins have all been part of your regimen. You’ve already spent too much on retaining your hair and keeping wrinkles in check. You even signed up for a Yoga class. It doesn’t matter what your age, you can remain youthful and happy.

But fortunately, there’s an inexpensive way to keep that youthful happy feeling which has scientific backing. Yet, among people who would benefit, less than 16% are taking advantage of it.

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

This trick might be the key to feeling happy and youthful as we age.

How Commonplace is Hearing Loss?

The possibility of experiencing hearing loss increases substantially by age 45. Even children as young as 12 are impacted.

According to a scientific study, 11% of individuals between the ages of 45 and 54 were dealing with some degree of hearing loss. By age 80 that percentage goes up to 90%. Of those between the ages of 65 and 74, almost 25 % cope with debilitating hearing loss and that number rises to 50% by age 80.

Additionally, hearing loss is twice as common among men under the age of 70 compared to women in the same age group.

Contrary to common notion most cases of hearing loss occur because of exposure to loud noise not aging. Some people are exposed to more damaging sounds 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 impact your general health, happiness, and youthfulness.

Yet only 1 in 7 individuals who would benefit from hearing aids wear them.

Your Hearing Aid is The Secret to Youthfulness And Happiness

The following results have been directly connected to wearing hearing aids:

  • participating in social situations 20% more frequently

You’ll agree, being with other people is one of the things that make life worthwhile. When you spend time doing things you enjoy, with those you love, you feel younger and happier.

People with hearing loss who use their hearing aids are more likely to remain active and social.

  • Being 30% less likely to suffer from depression

Feelings which are connected to depression-like loneliness and sadness, according to some studies, are less likely to be reported when someone who has hearing loss routinely uses their hearing aid.

Feeling like people are attempting to avoid them or are angry with them is also less likely. They’re not as likely to isolate themselves from others.

Less depression equals greater happiness.

  • Being 24% less likely to deal with mental decline

If you have somebody 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 process things and they are continually forgetting what they said and did which makes them feel older.

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

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

  • Minimizing your risk of falling by 30%

As we age, the risk of falling and hurting ourselves becomes a bitter reality. We’re not as sturdy as we once were. A nasty fall could cause a severe fracture that leads to a hospital stay and several weeks of rehab.

That’s not a place you want to be. It’s not fun to be hospitalized in pain.

You’re happier when you’re capable of getting around easily. You’re more confident in your movements and less likely to be startled.

Wearing your hearing aid will let you 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 maybe you think someone is yelling at you because they need to raise their voice so you can hear them.

Untreated hearing loss puts a tremendous strain on your relationships with friends and family. Resentment, anger, sadness, and other unfavorable emotions are frequently the outcome. But you will have more positive interactions with friends and family 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.

Recover what you’ve lost

Have you been using your hearing aid? You might have forgotten some of the simple joys in life that you’re missing, including:

  • Children’s laughter
  • Conversations with friends and family without asking them to speak up
  • Social clubs and outings
  • Music
  • Nature sounds outdoors
