The role of hearing in brain health

Oct 29, 2025

Good hearing does more than keep conversations clear - it supports brain health. Studies show untreated hearing loss can accelerate cognitive decline and increase the risk of dementia.

At GV Hearing Clinic, this message is at the heart of their care.“Hearing is vital for keeping the brain active. When we don’t hear well, the brain works harder to fill in the gaps, which can take a toll over time,” says Senior Audiologist Elizabeth Webster.

The good news? Early intervention makes a difference. Hearing aids not only improve communication but also help maintain memory, focus, and confidence. They reduce the risk of social isolation, keeping people engaged and connected.

For men in noisy roles - farmers, CFA volunteers, factory workers, and others - quick action is especially important. Regular hearing checks can prevent small changes from becoming bigger issues later in life.

With clinics in Shepparton and Euroa, GV Hearing Clinic has been supporting local families since 1987. Their experienced team offers hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, and expert guidance every step of the way.

Investing in your hearing health now means protecting your independence and your brain health for years to come.
