Did You Know?

In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General identified social isolation as a growing public health crisis, on par with obesity and smoking.1 In senior living communities, where social interaction is a key component of residents’ daily lives, combating isolation is a top priority. Social isolation is often accompanied by many other health issues; depression, anxiety, cognitive decline and even physical concerns are all significantly more common in isolated individuals. This can lead to a vicious cycle where hearing loss exacerbates isolation, which in turn worsens mental and physical health.

Research shows2 that socially isolated seniors have a...

increased risk of
developing dementia
increased risk
of heart disease
increased risk of stroke

Seniors with hearing loss are at a higher risk of experiencing social isolation.3
Difficulties in hearing and communicating effectively can lead to withdrawal from social activities. Additionally:

  • Approximately one in three people in the U.S. between the ages of 65 and 74 has
    hearing loss
  • Nearly half of those older than 75 have
    difficulty hearing4
  • Seniors with hearing loss are up to five times more likely to develop dementia,5 underscoring the critical need for interventions in
    senior living communities

Maintaining strong social connections can slow and even reverse the effects of cognitive decline in seniors.6

  • Regular social interaction stimulates the brain, improving mental agility and
    emotional well-being
  • For residents in senior living communities, fostering these connections can be a game-changer in enhancing their quality of life; when residents are socially connected and mentally engaged, they tend to have better health outcomes, including lower rates of depression, reduced fall risk, and improved overall health
  • This can improve the quality of life for residents and lead to longer engagement with senior communities, making social connection
    a sound investment
