How Hearing Loss and Dementia Are Connected

Three primary effects of hearing loss have been shown to contribute directly to dementia risk.

01

Social Isolation

Withdrawal from social situations is common in individuals with hearing loss. Losing that social interaction removes one of the most powerful protective factors for a healthy mind.

02

Cerebral Atrophy

Hearing impairment is associated with accelerated brain atrophy in the overall brain and advanced volume reductions in the memory, hearing, speech, and language centers. A hallmark feature of dementia.

03

Cognitive Overload

With hearing loss, your brain is constantly on overload as it works to fill in the missing pieces. The extra effort takes energy away from memory, attention, and other cognitive functions.
