If you have hearing loss and also experience anxiety, know that this is very common, and you\u2019re not alone. One 2017 study<\/a> even reports, \u201cThe problem of anxiety and depression in patients with moderate and severe sudden sensorineural hearing loss<\/a> is relatively prominent, and the symptoms of anxiety and depression are obviously affected by the symptoms and other diseases.\u201d The study\u2019s authors go on to say, \u201cAfter treatment, anxiety and depression status changes significantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we review more about the connection between these conditions and how treatment for hearing loss can help relieve your anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Research Shows<\/h2>\n\n\n

Studies show that there is a strong correlation between hearing loss and anxiety. And the more severe your hearing loss is, the greater the chance of having this mood disorder. In a different 2017 study<\/a> of 1,700 adults ages 76 to 85, the researchers found that those with mild hearing loss had a 32% higher chance of having anxiety, and for those with moderate or higher hearing loss, the chance rose by 59%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the Link?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have hearing loss, you probably worry about a lot of things, like mishearing someone and responding inappropriately or missing an important warning sound like a smoke alarm or car honking. Constant worry can lead to an anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Hearing Aids Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can identify and treat the source of your anxiety, this is the best chance of finding relief from it. So, if your hearing loss is what\u2019s causing your anxiety disorder, it makes sense that treating it will help with both conditions. If you can hear what your conversation partner is saying at a private event at Bull Island Brewing, you won\u2019t feel as anxious about how you respond. And if you can hear warning sounds, you won\u2019t worry as much about your physical safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Devices that Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have already made the investment in hearing aids<\/a> and you\u2019re looking for more, there are other types of devices that can help. For example, you can invest in a sunrise alarm clock that wakes you with light so you aren\u2019t worried about being late for work. A captioned phone will allow you to communicate with people like your doctor\u2019s office scheduler without being anxious about mishearing important information.
