They found that those with mild hearing loss doubled their risk of developing dementia, moderate hearing loss tripled the risk and those with severe hearing loss were five times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you don\u2019t need your hearing aids<\/a> to help you interact with others and participate in direct person-to-person communication, access to incidental sounds helps keep your brain active and processing sounds. A study by Dr. Douglas Beck looked at the importance of incidental sounds<\/a> to early learning in pediatric populations. The researchers found that giving children access to as many sounds as possible was critical for early development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being able to hear alarms and sirens is important to your safety, especially when at home. If you are not wearing your hearing aids, you could miss the warming from your smoke detector or the sound of a police car pulling up to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to helping you connect with family and friends, Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids can connect to a number of devices, including smartphones, tablets and televisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Streaming sound directly to your hearing aids helps eliminate distracting background noise that can make sounds, specifically speech, harder to understand. This also ensures you do not have to turn your devices up to a dangerously loud volume in order to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEmergency Alerts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
