According to HealthDay (4/14, Mann), research suggests that “folks who are experiencing hearing loss and don’t use a hearing aid may have a higher risk of developing dementia than people who use hearing aids and those without hearing loss.” Included in the study were “slightly more than 437,700 people in the UK Biobank” who “were asked about hearing loss and whether they used a hearing aid.” The findings were published online in The Lancet Public Health.
