As a Living Well Daily reader, I bet I can guess a few things about you.
You’re obviously interested in health. Plus, because you DO read all the latest research, you know a bit more about the topic than the average Joe.
And you also likely do your best to look out for your health as you age, including eating well, exercising, prioritizing sleep, and taking supplements.
Folks might even accuse you of being a “health nut,” like me.
But despite going the extra mile when it comes to your health, there’s something you’re STILL likely missing…
If you’re like many older adults, you need to have your hearing checked MORE often.
In fact, researchers say the MAJORITY of folks 50 and older haven’t had their hearing checked in the last two years.
But it’s more than just YOU forgetting to do this vital wellness check.
Patients report that nearly 80 percent of primary care doctors don’t even bother to ask about or check for hearing difficulties.
Putting this into the “it’s no big deal” category is easy. But DON’T make that mistake.
Unaddressed hearing loss can be far more devastating than you might imagine.
In fact, its fallout can lead to issues you’d never expect, including…
- sending your fall risk SOARING,
- DOUBLING your dementia risk,
- and TRIGGERING feelings of isolation and depression.
You can start to lose your hearing at ANY age. But your chances of experiencing difficulty rise with each passing year.
You see, as we get older, our ears typically lose some of their function. And because of diet changes and absorption issues, some seniors also tend to run low on critical nutrients that can affect hearing.
But hearing aids have advanced by leaps and bounds in the last decade or so. And you can easily and comfortably address age-related hearing loss with their help.
And when you do, all those risks I mentioned earlier fade away.
So, next time you’re at your doctor’s office remember to ask them to test your hearing.
P.S. This DELICIOUS diet could give you “super hearing” Slash your hearing loss risk by up to 30 percent! CLICK HERE for the scoop.
