Cochlear encourages people of all ages to make healthy aging a 2016 priority
As people age, it is natural to be more proactive about health. The multitude of recommended screenings and tests that are linked with certain age milestones simplify making healthy aging a priority. However, for the majority of aging individuals, hearing health is too frequently left out of proactive health planning. For the 37.5 million American adults who report some trouble hearing, there is no time like the present to make hearing health a 2016 healthy aging priority.
This year marks a fresh opportunity to kickstart a healthy lifestyle, and Cochlear, the global leader in implantable hearing solutions, offers five tips to prioritize hearing health:
"Many of our older recipients, who either treated their hearing loss later in life or determined their hearing aids were no longer enough, we're able to get back sounds they didn't even know they were missing," said Patti Trautwein, Au.D., Vice President, Marketing at Cochlear Americas. "Treating hearing loss can improve an individual's quality of life, as they are more likely to take part in social activities and feel less depressed or sad when they're able to hear adequately."
If hearing loss is discovered, early treatment may not only result in improved hearing outcomes but may also help individuals reengage in their lives and with their friends and family.
