Hearing Aids Reduce Dementia Risk


Well this sure explains a lot. I’ll be sending out private messages with a link to this article to some of you I feel strongly are either deaf or unable to think clearly anymore or both. 🤣

You are welcome.

Interesting study and results. If only people would be more willing to deal with their hearing loss.

I have two close friends that are in total denial that they are losing their hearing and just make excuses as to why they didn't hear something.

Maybe it's vanity and they don't want to appear "old", but the truth is that modern hearing aids are almost invisible.

I remember a french documentary about Ray Charles , a charismatic blind singer among all singers...

I listened the documentary because who could go out without listening Ray Charles?

In the mid of the docu. the french journalist who was filming Charles , 24 h on 24 , tracking him without asking question because it was the condition , go with him in an hospital ...

Suddenly a young girl waiting for him goes and throw himself in the arms of Ray Charles smiling...

After the scene , the journalist ask Ray Charles about all that love and what the fuss is about ?

The journalist is intrigued because the young girl suffered deafness...And the journalist ask Ray Charles why he help a deaf young girl and not a blind one ?

Ray Charles laughed out without end, "blindness! there is no problem there at all" ...

It was amazing to see the expression on his face...His laugh with no end as if the journalist question was a joke... For him it was a joke...Many of us we can miss the joke too...

 

 

I'm no more weird about wearing hearing aids than I am about wearing glasses; got a sense that needs some help? Help it! My sanity is still questionable... 

I have had to wear them for the past 15 years. I am now 74. The wife demanded that I get tested....!
