Hear well, think well: The brain boost that starts with your ears

We expect a few changes as we age — but many people don’t realise how closely hearing and brain health are connected.

At Noosa Hearing’s new clinic at 4/16 Lanyana Way in Noosa Junction, our goal is not just to help you hear better — it’s to help you stay sharp, independent, and connected.

When hearing loss is left untreated, the brain has to work harder to fill in the gaps. This strain can lead to memory problems, mental fatigue, and over time, raise the risk of dementia. Hearing loss can also cause people to withdraw socially, reducing the mental stimulation the brain needs to stay healthy.

But there’s good news. Early action matters. A major study found that older adults at risk of cognitive decline who wore hearing aids experienced almost 50 per cent slower mental decline over three years.

Other research shows hearing aids can improve memory, focus, and mood — helping your brain stay younger, longer.

That’s why Noosa Hearing, led by principal audiologist Deidré Breytenbach, recommends a baseline hearing check from age 55 — even if your hearing feels “fine.”

With over 15 years’ experience, Deidré provides evidence-based, independent care, with a focus on long-term wellbeing.

SPECIAL OFFER: Sunshine Coast locals aged 55+ receive $50 OFF a full diagnostic hearing check. Offer ends 31 August 2025. New clients only.

Call 07 5231 8867 or visit noosahearing.com.au to book.
