One Decline Makes Parkinson’s 26% Worse

Most of us ignore small physical declines as a normal part of aging — small aches, little stiffness, forgetting a few things.

But, recent research reveals how one specific physical decline escalates Parkinson’s disease by a terrifying 26%.

Silver lining: there’s an easy way to address this decline.

And by addressing this physical decline, you dramatically improve your Parkinson’s Disease.

But you must do this as soon as possible, or it might be too late.

A new study analyzed the health records of over 3.5 million U.S. veterans who had undergone hearing tests between 1999 and 2022.

Participants were followed for an average of 7.6 years, allowing researchers to track how hearing status affected the onset of Parkinson’s disease.

The findings were eye-opening.

They discovered that participants with hearing loss faced a significantly higher risk of developing Parkinson’s. Hearing loss alone was linked to a 26% increase in Parkinson’s risk.

The severity of the hearing loss made a difference, too—those with mild hearing loss had 6.1 additional cases of Parkinson’s per 10,000 individuals, while moderate to severe loss saw this number rise to 16.2.

But here’s the most intriguing part: using hearing aids within two years of being diagnosed with hearing loss drastically reduced the risk of Parkinson’s.

Veterans who adopted hearing aids promptly had 21.6 fewer cases of Parkinson’s than those who didn’t.

This suggests that addressing hearing loss early could delay or even prevent neurodegenerative changes associated with Parkinson’s.

Why might hearing aids have such a powerful impact?

Researchers believe that the stimulation provided by hearing—social interaction, learning from audio sources, and even the emotional benefits of music—helps keep the brain engaged and healthy.

In other words, keeping your hearing intact may support your brain’s resilience against Parkinson’s.

If you’ve noticed even mild hearing loss, don’t delay getting a hearing aid. The benefits could be life-changing.
