HEARING LOSS AND BALANCE are among many factors that can contribute to falls. Individuals who have hearing loss are more likely to experience accidental falls. Studies have shown that wearing hearing aids improves balance compared to individuals who have hearing loss but do not wear hearing aids. There are three main reasons why hearing loss can affect our balance: 1. Hearing loss reduces awareness of our environment, meaning less awareness of people and activities around us. 2. Hearing loss decreases spatial awareness, making it harder to know where you are in relation to your surroundings. 3. Hearing loss requires more brain energy, leaving less available for maintaining balance. Our physical bodies are gifts from the Creator. Jeremiah 30:17 says, “But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord.
