If You Thought It Was Normal to Lose Your Hearing, Think Again


There is a new link between loss of hearing and Alzheimer’s disease. We used to think it was normal as we aged that hearing decreased exponentially in our 70s. But the key thing is hearing that slowly gets bad and garbles your frontal cortex for many, many years.


In November of 2019, the Otolaryngology Journal of the American Medical Association published a study of 6,400 people aged 50 and older.

They measured hearing and cognitive performance. The relationship between hearing loss and poor performance on cognitive tests begin the moment imperfect hearing begins. This is startling.


In 1989 at the University of Washington, there was initial evidence linking hearing loss and dementia. Doctors compared 100 people who had Alzheimer’s like dementia with 100 people who didn’t. They noticed that the patients who had Alzheimer’s like symptoms were in direct proportion to the amount of hearing loss the patient suffered.


Fast forward to 2017 when the Lancet Medical Journal reviewed all the risk factors attributed to Alzheimer’s Disease. Hearing loss was the biggest factor, accounting for 9% of all current diagnoses.


The issue is when does a given person start hearing less, because our brains cells are complex and interconnected, and hearing loss has been shown to have brain tissue atrophy in the auditory regions.


Doctors and scientists do not yet know if treating someone’s hearing loss with a hearing aid will prevent Alzheimer’s, and they don’t know if treating someone in their 50’s with mild hearing loss will make a difference.


The best thing we can teach young children is to have “hearing fitness” and to not blast the music they are listening to in their ears. Remember, one loud sound can change the trajectory of someone’s hearing for a lifetime.

This past weekend, the New York Times identified many people who believe their new debilitating symptoms are due to the Covid vaccine. I cannot stress enough, that everything doesn’t work for everyone. Many people can go to a doctor and get natural things done and get better. Other people do better in the current medical system. Yet, it is very wrong for physicians to tell people, they are crazy, or it’s in their head. Just because the US hasn’t documented the symptoms people are experiencing from the RNA Covid shot, doesn’t mean their symptoms don’t exist. Some people are experiencing neurological, cardiovascular, and autoimmune symptoms. Everyone’s bodies are different. Other countries, like Israel, Europe and Hong Kong who have centralized systems have documented people who have myocarditis, tinnitus, severe shingles, bell’s palsy, and some show continued deterioration of the heart cavity. About 13,000 cases exist, out of the 677 million Covid shots received in the U.S. Some scientists are concerned that people’s symptoms are being ignored.
