Breaking The Silence: How Hearing Loss Solutions Combat Social Isolation
New clinical research confirms what many older adults already feel: hearing loss quietly erodes the connections that keep us healthy. The good news? That story can have a different ending. Download the brief now and discover:
- Why social isolation is a serious health risk – and how hearing loss accelerates it. More than 1 in 3 older adults reports hearing loss,1 which nearly doubles the risk of depression.2 Additionally, nearly 1 in 3 report feeling lonely,3 which the U.S. Surgeon General has elevated to the same national health priority as tobacco use and obesity.4
- The ACHIEVE study offers real clinical proof. In a landmark randomized trial, adults who received hearing interventions retained an average of one additional person in their social network – along with more diverse relationships and measurable improvements in loneliness scores.
- The solution is accessible and available now. Hamilton® CapTel® provides real-time captions during phone calls – at no cost to people with hearing loss – making it easier to stay in every conversation that matters.
