Are you a socialite? If so, there may be another good reason to have your hearing (or the hearing of a loved one) tested.
A recent study at the University of British Columbia found that seniors who experience hearing loss are more likely to suffer from both social isolation and cognitive impairment. The study at UBC Okanagan looked at seniors between the ages of 60 and 69, and found that for each 10 decibel decrease in hearing ability, social isolation could increase by as much as 52%! This same decrease in hearing ability was also associated with an equivalent of 4 years of aging.
Because social isolation has already been shown to affect mortality rates similarly to consuming alcohol and smoking, hearing impairment can now be seen as a public health issue, and can be taken much more serious than before.
