Do hearing aids help to prevent falls?

When you wear hearing aids programmed to match your unique hearing needs, you’ll be more aware of all the sounds around you. You can pinpoint sounds in your environment, and you’ll hear people or objects as they get closer.

Hearing aids also reduce your cognitive load. When you wear hearing aids, you will hear most of the sounds around you. When you have a clear auditory picture of your environment, you won’t use so much energy straining to hear. This prevents cognitive overload and reduces your risk of a fall.
