Aging naturally causes the onset of maladies most never expect; hearing loss being one of the most common. However, balance is another area of our health which can be taken for granted. Problems with equilibrium and sense of balance can contribute to injury related falls and can also negatively impact emotions related to \u00a0feelings of independence and confidence. Chronic balance disorders affect nearly eight million people in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and is\nresponsible for your sense of balance, detecting movements to provide awareness\nof spatial orientation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What many don\u2019t know is there is a link between hearing and\nbalance; multiple studies have confirmed that untreated hearing loss is linked\nwith imbalance and falls. A 2012 study by Johns Hopkins University determined\nthat even a mild hearing loss triples the risk of falls among the elderly.\nHowever, results also suggested that treating hearing loss with hearing aids\ncan help reduce this risk of falling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another study published in 2014 by the Washington University\nSchool of Medicine confirmed that enhancing hearing improves the balance of\nadults experiencing hearing loss. In the study, patients who wore hearing\ndevices performed better on balance tests when their devices were on versus\nwhen they were off. Professor of Otolaryngology, Timothy Hullar, M.D., suggested\nthis was due to more than just improved alertness; he hypothesized that we use\nsound to tell when we are in space, similar to how sight helps orient us. When\nhearing is compromised, our balance can suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
