If you, and your loved ones, are losing your hearing then fitting a suitable hearing aid will restore your hearing and improve your quality of life and sleep as well.
Hearing Loss And Insomnia
When the warning signs of hearing loss start you may find handphones and TV become more difficult to hear, you may also experience insomnia. This may be attributable to your brain straining to get enough stimulus or it’s in overdrive and you can’t get to sleep. Tinnitus can cause you to hear humming or ringing that can keep you awake at night and this can turn into a vicious cycle and may even lead to depression. Chemical imbalances in your brain interrupt your sleep cycle making it harder to fall and stay asleep.
A Good Night’s Sleep
A study conducted in 2018 in Europe found that 59% of people who were hearing aid wearers felt content with their sleep, compared to only 44% of respondents who didn’t use hearing aids. If you suffer from hearing loss related insomnia, hearing aids may help in several ways. You are more able to enjoy social interactions and so less likely to feel isolated and get depressed. Hearing aids can be an effective solution for ringing or buzzing in your ears, depending on the nature of your tinnitus and the strain on your brain will be eased by wearing hearing aids. Wearing a suitable hearing aid may also facilitate deep sleep.
