Have you ever thought about having a hearing test? Do you wonder if your hearing health has a connection to cognitive decline?

Many studies have been conducted leading us to very definitive answers to this question. For example, check out this 2018 study at the National Library of Medicine. The conclusion held that:

Hearing aids may have a mitigating effect on trajectories of cognitive decline in later life. Providing hearing aids or other rehabilitative services for hearing impairment much earlier in the course of hearing impairment may stem the worldwide rise of dementia.

Hearing Loss Is Common, But Not Normal

The fact of the matter is that hearing loss is the 3^rd most common chronic disease impacting older women (and men!). And even worse, hearing loss is closely linked to overall quality of life, i.e., isolation, depression, loneliness, and a generally poorer physical health. Yet, despite this alarming news, hearing loss remains substantially undertreated to this day.

The Lancet lists hearing loss as “a modifiable risk factor for the disease of dementia” and The Hearing Journal states:

While most studies on cognitive decline focus on older adults, recent data indicate that hearing loss onset in mid-life is associated with a dementia diagnosis before 60 years of age (i.e., early-onset dementia). Thus, in both mid-and later life, hearing loss increases the risk for cognitive decline and dementia.

Now, given the number of studies done and the fact that we know that there is a correlation between hearing loss and cognitive decline, it is safe to ask whether or not hearing aids could influence cognitive function.

Hearing Aids Improve Cognitive Function

A study conducted by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center determined that, yes, older women who use hearing aids perform considerably better during cognition tests than others who do not use hearing aids.

In fact, it is well known today that having hearing loss contributes to a higher incidence of falls and accident-related deaths in older adults. Hearing aid use can assist with improving your social life and combating the emotional ins and outs of the struggles related to hearing loss.

Hearing aids are a simple yet effective way to slow or prevent dementia by keeping you engaged in conversation and communicating with your loved ones.

While we know that there is no cure for dementia, we also know that researchers consider hearing loss to be a significant risk factor for dementia. Therefore, it follows that wearing hearing aids can slow the progress of cognitive decline or reduce the risk of developing dementia.

According to a study done by top researchers, when testing for ‘executive function’ (cognitive tools that help us navigate our day-to-day lives) in 99 participants who wear hearing aids, “the increase in executive function was more pronounced in females than in males.” The same researchers monitored how often the participants wore their hearing aids and determined that those who wore them all the time experienced greater improvements in cognitive performance.

Although some risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia, such as genetics and age, cannot be changed, some can be reduced, and one of those modifiable risk factors is hearing loss.

Treatment Outcomes

The bottom line: wearing hearing aids and treating your hearing loss is one of, if not the, most important things you can do to reduce your risk of cognitive decline and dementia. This simple step goes a long way to functionally increase cognition, reduce the number of ‘senior moments’ and increase the likelihood of keeping dementia at bay!

Until next time, your partner in healthy hearing!

Let’s Have a Conversation:

When was the last time you had your hearing tested? Did you know hearing evaluations are recommended starting at the age of 50 years young (‘ears and rears!’)? Have you researched the 12 modifiable lifestyle factors that can help you prevent dementia?

For years I’ve been skimping on eye cream in the mornings. I found that it made my under eye concealer slip off easier, and I figured since I was wearing it at night, I was covered. But as more and more fine lines quickly approach, I’ve been on the lookout for something that can handle all my going-out-in-the-sun needs, and guys, I think I’ve finally found it. This eye cream/concealer hybrid from Colorescience is like an eye cream on steroids. It hydrates, conceals, brightens and provides anti-aging benefits all in one.

You’re probably already using a tinted SPF or BB cream throughout the day, and you can think of this as a tinted eye cream. It has the feel of a cream but the color of a concealer, and thanks to ingredients like albizia julibrissin bark extract, sea water, sorbitol and jojoba esters, the eye area actually appears brighter as soon as you apply it. It has just the perfect amount of sheer color, and I love dabbing it on for my no-makeup makeup look days, or just when I need to run outside in the sun for some quick errands or a long walk to take in the gorgeous fall temps.

Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Anti-Aging Renewal Therapy for Wrinkles & Dark Circles

It also acts as a primer so you can pat this on before you put on your all-day concealer and ensure you have SPF coverage throughout the day. This product is “phenomenal at light reflection and brightening,” wrote one reviewer on Amazon. “It’s expensive, but a little goes a long way.”

Another said, “I’ve been using this for a few years now. After about 5 minutes of putting it on, the puffiness is minimized. I don’t have huge bags but i do have dark circles. The tint helps with this also. I doesn’t have an odor and it goes on smoothly. I put my moisturizer on after this and it all blends well.”

The formula is also made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates and synthetic fragrance. It comes in four different shade ranges so you can find the perfect shade to dab out dark circles and instantly hydrate and brighten the eye area. The metal applicator tip stays cold so you get an additional boost of cold therapy every time you apply it.

Grab it from Amazon now for $74, or from the Colorescience website for just $62.90 once you enter code NG15 at checkout to save 15 percent.

Inflation is a significant concern for retirees worried about the rising costs of necessities. According to a recent Global Atlantic Financial Group survey, 61% of retirees who invest assume that with low-interest rates and rising inflation, they won’t have enough saved to cover their lifetime expenses.

Retirees worried about exhausting their retirement savings early may find that inflation only adds to their concerns.

Here is a list of strategies to consider as you face rising inflation.

Evaluate Your Spending Patterns

Rather than looking at what you have spent in the last couple of weeks, go through your bank and credit card statements from the previous three to six months. The further you go back in time, the more data you will have to get a more accurate idea of your average monthly expenses.

If your expenses have increased over the last couple of months, use this inflation increase percentage to calculate how inflation has impacted your bills.

Analyze Your Budget

If you find that you are spending more than you owe, it might be time to cut back on your expenses. Start by identifying nonessential expenses, like entertainment and eating out, and see if anything can be cut or reduced. If you have extra money left over every month, use it to pay off debt or put it in an emergency fund.

Postponing Big Expenses

Suppose you are planning a vacation, considering remodeling your home, or buying a luxury purchase. In that case, you should consider postponing these purchases and allocating the funds toward your day-to-day living expenses. Then, when inflation has subsided, you will have the chance to make extra splurges into your budget again.

Utilize Your Cash

For those with substantial cash reserves, it might be time to spend those funds rather than selling stocks or making withdrawals from your retirement accounts. Don’t withdraw from your emergency fund when using cash to cover expenses. Your emergency fund is geared to helping you in unexpected financial circumstances.

Pay Down Debt

One of the best ways to increase the longevity of your retirement savings is to reduce your monthly expenses. With rising inflation rates, paying down adjustable loans, like credit cards, will free up extra cash for living expenses.

Consider Downsizing

For those who want to reduce their current expenses, a smaller home might help. Look for neighborhoods that cater to retirees or are easily accessible to supermarkets. By downsizing, you can use the proceeds of selling your home and furniture to cover your expenses or set aside savings for the future.

Let Social Security Help

Social Security benefits, adjusted based on the inflation rate and the standard cost of living, can play a crucial role in supporting your monthly income in retirement. For half of retirees, Social Security benefits form a large part of their income. As inflation increases, retirees receiving Social Security will see their income reflect this change.

Invest in Inflation Hedges

Choose investments with inflation protection to reduce inflation’s impact on your retirement savings. Some possibilities include the following:

TIPS

Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) is a Treasury Bond that adjusts their return based on the inflation rate.

I-Bonds

Series I Savings Bonds pay a low, fixed interest rate and a variable rate that adjusts based on the inflation rate.

Other Options

Other inflation hedges are investments that tend to do well during periods of high inflation, like real estate investment trusts (REITs), precious metals, and commodities.

Keep Working in Retirement

The best way to preserve your capital is by continuing to earn money. Every dollar you earn in retirement is one dollar you don’t need to withdraw from your retirement savings. Of course, this doesn’t mean you have to keep a 9-to-5 job that you don’t enjoy. Instead, reducing your hours, finding a new job, or creating passive income can give you an extra cushion for retirement.

Consult A Financial Advisor

Determining whether you have enough money to last until your last days is often challenging, and inflation makes it trickier. For example, an inflation rate of 3% per year can cut your retirement savings by more than half over 25 years. To ensure a concrete retirement plan, consult with a financial advisor to understand your future financial needs and how to prepare adequately.
