Why it Matters More Than You Might Think

There’s a strong link between hearing loss and dementia. Sometimes people develop gradual hearing loss before any other cognitive difficulties start. Other times, both dementia and hearing problems turn up together. And when they do, it’s easy to mistake one for the other. Someone might seem confused or withdrawn, when in reality they just can’t hear clearly.

The trouble is, untreated hearing loss can lead to even more challenges, like feeling isolated or avoiding social situations. Regular hearing checks can pick up on problems early, and from there, we can look at hearing solutions that make everyday activities easier. It might be hearing aids, it might be tweaks at home like reducing background noise, or even simple strategies like using visual clues during conversations. Small things, big difference.

Making the Test Feel Comfortable

A hearing assessment for dementia patients isn’t quite the same as a standard one. It’s all about making sure the person feels safe, respected, and not rushed. Our audiology team uses simple words, keeps instructions short, and takes time to figure out the person’s preferred way to communicate lip reading, written notes, whatever works best for them. Usually, we’ll:

• Have a quick chat about any hearing concerns, sometimes with a family member there for support.

• Take a look in the ears to check the ear canal for wax or anything that might be causing trouble.

• Do a couple of gentle audiology tests in a quiet space, using comfy headphones.

• Go over the results in plain English and talk through next steps.

Why Get a Hearing Test?

Hearing is a vital sense that significantly impacts your quality of life. Regular hearing tests are essential for:

Overcoming the Challenges

Testing can present challenges, especially if there are memory problems or anxiety on the day. That’s fine, we adapt. Sometimes it’s better to break the test into smaller chunks or use visual information to show what’s going to happen. We also pay close attention to the environment, because background noise can make hearing difficulties feel ten times worse.

And here’s the thing, when someone’s hearing improves, their confidence often does too. They’re more likely to join in conversations, enjoy activities, and feel connected.

Hearing Loss and Dementia

According to Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK, people with hearing loss are at an increased risk of developing dementia. The good news? While hearing aids can’t reverse dementia, they can make communication clearer and reduce the mental strain of constantly trying to listen. That means less frustration and, for some, better cognitive abilities for longer, especially in the earlier stages.

Many older people living with both dementia and hearing loss find that these improvements can transform daily life. And it’s not just about the person, it’s easier for friends and family too.
