Reuters (10/11, Chander) reported, “For older adults, hearing aids may delay some forms of mental and physical decline associated with hearing loss and aging,” research indicated. After studying some “114,862 people age 66 and older with hearing loss,” researchers found that “among people who’d been diagnosed with hearing loss, those who used hearing aids were up to 18% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia, depression or fall-related injuries over the next three years, compared to people not using the devices.” The findings were published online in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
