In Hong Kong, nearly 20% of people aged 85 and above have hearing problems. A U.S. study shows people with hearing issues have higher risk of dementia, so early handling is very important. With age or other factors, the number of nerve cells in the cochlea gradually decreases, sound reception function slowly declines. Inner ear hair cell degeneration also fails to stimulate nerves, preventing the brain from receiving sound information, leading to complete inability to hear sounds, ignoring sounds, or failing to understand sound meaning. Hearing decline usually starts after age 45 and the prevalence increases with age. When ears begin to decline, patients need others to repeat conversations or speak louder—if symptoms last more than 2 to 3 weeks, seek medical help to find the cause and treat accordingly. Hearing decline affects communication, causes social problems, personality isolation, and in severe cases leads to other mental health issues. To solve it, doctors generally recommend wearing hearing aid earphones. Hearing aids can distinguish speech from noise, amplify useful speech, allowing patients to receive sounds directly—this is currently the most effective way to help patients regain speech. Besides receiving external sounds, hearing aid recommendations also help patients communicate normally, maintain normal social life, good mental health, and stay alert to danger. Recent U.S. research found ear problems increase dementia risk: mild issues 1.8 times higher than normal, moderate 3 times, severe 4.8 times. Early prevention or timely proper treatment may reduce dementia progression. Hearing decline cannot be reversed—only helped by hearing aids. Before decline occurs, avoid long-term exposure to noisy environments, maintain good habits (no smoking, no drinking), treat chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular early to protect hearing. Once hearing declines, follow doctor instructions and wear suitable hearing aids to keep communicating with others. New 5G hearing earphones are small, exquisite, with clear natural sound. EasyHear 5G technology reduces noise by 90%, greatly improves signal-to-noise ratio. It uses “beamforming” technology—even in noisy environments, conversations stay clear. For elderly family members with hearing problems, hearing aids make life much better.
