Washington – A new study shows wearing and needing hearing aids increases life span. Those who use their hearing aids had a 24% lower chance of dying than those who did not, according to data published earlier this month in “The Lancet Healthy Longevity”. Janet Choi, MD, an otolaryngologist at Keck Medicine of USC and lead researcher, told Health: “But that doesn’t mean the hearing aids are causing them to live longer. We don’t know if there’s a causal relationship between those two. That’s the big question we need to answer right now.”
