Dementia and hearing loss


Why is there a link?


  • When the cochlea (the hub of the inner ear) sends a garbled signal to the brain, which happens as we develop a hearing loss, the brain has to work harder to decode it.  The increased ‘cognitive load’ leads to a reduction in our cognitive and thinking abilities.





Evidence suggests that proper diagnosis and management of hearing loss can reduce the risk of dementia and also its impact, especially in the early stages. In particular, evidence suggests that wearing hearing aids can help, for example by improving working memory – the short term memory that we use to complete everyday tasks. Hearing aids can also help prevent some of the other risks and conditions associated with dementia, such as falls and depression.


With experience of hearing loss for over 19 years we recommend you have a full diagnostic hearing test and if a hearing loss is detected to wear hearing aids –  as the evidence suggests it can help to reduce the risk of dementia and the impact it can have.
