Which Hearing Aids Should You Wear to Reduce Cognitive Decline and Hearing Loss?

8/13/2020

0 Comments

 
truhearing_providers
Starkey's Livio AI
There is so much research about the link between hearing loss and cognitive health, but there's still more research that needs to be done. 
 
What is known about hearing loss?
 
Adults who suffer from hearing loss tend to display cases of steeper cognitive decline than those who have healthy hearing abilities. 
 
In one study, elderly adults who have hearing loss are at two-to-five times more likely to develop symptoms of dementia than those with normal hearing. 
 
In that same study, every 10 dB that was measured in hearing loss, there was a 20% rise in the possibility of developing dementia. 
 
Theories to these links
 
Hearing loss that goes untreated for too long, may restrict the brain from collecting neural information. This is known as the "use-it-or-lose-it" theory. It is very important to keep your mind active by listening to sounds.  
 
Those who suffer from hearing loss may cut back on socializing with others. The worst combination of an increase in cognitive decline is being socially isolated, depressed and suffering from cognitive decline. The theory is that those who have hearing loss are less inclined to engage in social situations. This is what can cause depression and isolation, which can lead to cognitive decline. 
 
Attempting to listen and comprehend speech sounds requires a number of parts in your brain, including its working memory. When the brain is focused on listening, many of its other areas cannot be utilized anywhere else.
 
How can hearing aids help?
 
Hearing aids can stimulate the brain by allowing users to hear and interpret information. 
 
These devices can make people feel more confident and encourage them to participate in life again. This lowers their risks of depression and social isolation.
 
Hearing aids can help reduce the cognitive strain that a person may use in order to listen.
 
A study from 2015 showed a similar rate of cognitive decline between those who wore hearing aids, and those who did not need to wear hearing aids. It implied that wearing hearing aids can delay the development of cognitive decline.
 
Starkey's Livio AI hearing aids not only provide a high-quality hearing experience, but they also use sensors and artificial intelligence to give you an assessment in regard to your cognitive health. Your Brain Score is measured on a daily basis  
 
Use Time - This measures the length of time that your hearing aids are worn. This is vital because wearing hearing aids helps to lower your chances of cognitive decline due to hearing loss.
 
Engagement - This feature measures how much time is spent in environments where the hearing aid user has discussions with other people or streams phone calls. It helps the user participate more when in large groups.   
 
Actively Listening - This measures the different types of circumstances that the user encounters in their day. These different environments help stimulate brain development.    
 
The Thrive Hearing app can keep a record of your Brain Score to show how much progress you've made. Use it to observe and evaluate your cognitive health.

Product of the Week: How can Livio AI Hearing Aids Help with Cognition and Hearing Loss?

5/11/2020

0 Comments

 
aarp_hearing_aids_reviews
There has been so much research on the topic of cognition and hearing loss. There is a lot more to learn about it, but here’s what we know so far:

  • Adults who have hearing loss have more cases of cognitive decline than those with healthy hearing.
  • Eldery individuals who have hearing loss are two to five times more likely to develop dementia than those with healthy hearing.
  • For every 10 dB that was measured for an increase in hearing loss, there was also a 20% increased risk for developing dementia. 
  • Based on public health tests, hearing loss can be a risk in cognitive decline.


Theories that are verified by science:

  • Long term hearing loss might restrict the brain from accepting neural data. This is known as the “use-it-or-lose-it” theory. It indicates that it’s important to use sounds to stimulate your brain. 
  • Those with hearing loss may stop socializing with others. There is a link between social isolation, depression and cognitive decline. It is believed that those who have hearing loss, are less prone to participate in social settings. This can lead to isolation and depression, which can lead to cognitive decline.     
  • Listening and comprehending speech requires a lot of brain power, such as working memory. Since the brain is using so much energy to listen, the cognitive resources cannot be used in other areas. 

Hearing aid benefits:

  • Stimulates the brain and transmits information from the ear to the brain.
  • Encourages those with hearing loss to participate in life again, which will reduce their risks of depression and social isolation.
  • Lower the cognitive effort that a person may need to listen to someone.
  • A study showed that elderly adults who used hearing aids had a similar pace in cognitive decline as those with normal hearing. 
 
Benefits of Starkey's Livio AI Hearing Aids

Starkey’s Livio AI uses sensors and artificial intelligence to provide feedback on your cognitive health through the Brain Score feature. The score has three categories: Use Time, Engagement, and Active Listening. 

Use Time: This measures the amount of time the hearing aids are worn. This is essential because studies have shown that wearing hearing aids lowers the risks of cognitive decline that is linked to hearing loss.

Engagement: This measures the amount of time that is spent in settings where the user has conversations with other people, and streams phone calls. The majority of people who wear hearing aids claim that it helps them to participate in activities. 

Active Listening: This measures the different environments and social situations that are encountered throughout the day. The more variety of environments that you are in, the more developed your brain will be from each environment’s stimulation. 

The combined efforts of these goals will lead to a maximum Brain Score of 100. The Thrive Hearing app will keep the Brain Score history in order to show how you have progressed through time. 

If you, or a loved one, would be interested in a hearing aid trial of Starkey’s Livio AI, please contact us at Pure Sound Hearing Aids for a consultation. 

Pure Sound services will only be available by appointment and for essential visits at this time. Essential visits include all appointments that require repairs, re-fittings and new hearing aid fittings. If you are having any problems with your hearing aids, or need supplies for your hearing aids, please call us before visiting one of our offices.

Widex EVOKE™ hearing aid can evolve in real-time in order to give wearers an optimum listening experience.

The Widex SoundSense Technology modifies the hearing device each time you use it. In any environment where you are interacting with others, EVOKE™ will immediately adapt to your individual needs and surroundings. 

The sounds that you come in contact with are constantly shifting. The EVOKE™ hearing aid device responds to your different surroundings by using the Fluid Sound Analyzer. This technology has the ability to provide more accurate sounds whether you are in a meeting or at a busy restaurant.   

You may teach the EVOKE™ how you would like to hear by using the EVOKE™ app. There is a SoundSense Learn feature that provides two different sound profiles for you to select from. You may test the sounds by listening to them as many times as you want, and then choose which sound suits your preferences. 

Hear Sounds Naturally

Each sound has its own components. When sounds are more authentic, it makes them easier to hear. EVOKE™ features the most natural sound that can be heard with a hearing aid. 

Choose What You Want To Hear

If your environment is too noisy, your hearing aid can separate unnecessary sounds that may distract you from hearing someone speak. In calmer situations, you’ll be able to hear many subtle details.     

There is a Fluid Sound Controller feature in the EVOKE™ which sets the optimal sound experience for various surroundings. Adjusting this hearing aid is simple, and it will rapidly adapt to any environment. 

The EVOKE™ Will Remember Your Settings

The EVOKE™ features SoundSense Adapt technology, and will remember all changes you make. It will apply them to similar situations - in any new environment.

The Silk Nx is Signia’s smallest, ready-to-wear hearing aids that provide natural sounds. 

Maximum discretion 

The Silk Nx is 20 percent smaller than the previous version, making them nearly invisible.

Features

The Silk Nx is available in various sizes. The soft silicon sleeves, known as click sleeves, can click onto the Silk hearing aid devices and firmly rest in the ear for a snug fit. With the Silk Nx, users do not need to wait for customized housing.

Color-coded  

The hearing aid devices themselves are colored in red (for right) and blue (for left), making them easier to determine which hearing aid should be placed in which ear. 

Clear Sounds and a Natural Flow

Whether you are passing through a crowded street, or you’re in a noisy restaurant, it can be difficult to hear clearly when having a conversation. 

Signia’s hearing aids translate these sounds, allowing the user to hear them in a more natural way. You can concentrate on the important things, like the speech noise in conversations you’re having with others, and at the same time filter out any distracting background noises. 

Remote control

A feature called the touchControl™ App allows users to switch the settings remotely, in order to customize the hearing aids for your comfort level. This app allows users to tailor the volume, bass, or treble to their own needs. 
  

miniPocket™

If you do not have a smartphone, wearers may use the miniPocket™ remote control. This is another discreet and useful way to control the hearing aid devices without a large remote or smartphone. This remote control can be conveniently attached to a key ring.
