Study's have shown elderly adults may experience a cognitive or mental decline with an untreated hearing loss. This study also found individuals who utilized hearing aids can almost eliminate this cognitive decline. The use of hearing aids can reduce the negative mental effects of hearing loss and may increase an individuals ability to participate in cognitively stimulating activities.
