When the human body hears the sound, the brain will be excited only when it receives the sound signal; when it does not hear the sound, the consciousness will be in the state of not excited, and the brain will lose its vitality and slow down its response to the external stimulation. Over time, hearing loss will make the elderly slow to respond, reduce their language ability and communication, which will not only affect the quality of life of the elderly, but also lead to a series of psychological problems such as loneliness, indifference, depression, and even lead to dementia.

Not wearing hearing aids affects mental health

The hearing of the elderly is not good, and not wearing hearing aids will affect the development of mental health. According to scientific research, compared with the old people with normal hearing, the old people with hearing impairment have worse thinking and memory.

Therefore, the old people will have difficulties in communication and reduce communication in life. As time goes by, the elderly lose their interest in social activities, gradually isolate themselves from the outside world, and become reticent and self abased. The old people’s hearing is not good, and not wearing hearing aids seriously affects their mental health.
