The Power of Sound

At Commonwealth Senior Living, we believe our residents should fully embrace their golden years as a time of ongoing growth. We also recognize many of our seniors have encountered the inevitable hurdle of hearing loss, which greatly affects their day-to-day experiences. Experts at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine uncovered a direct link between hearing loss and increased hospitalizations, deteriorating physical health, and a heightened susceptibility to dementia. At Commonwealth Senior Living, keeping our residents engaged is paramount to maintaining a vibrant and enriching environment, which is where Eversound’s innovative technology comes into play. As one of our communities’ signature programs, our teams use Eversound to ensure all residents feel confident participating in resident programs and activities.

The Impact of Hearing Loss on Seniors

It’s no secret that hearing tends to decline with age. Statistics reveal that 1 in 3 people over 65 are affected by hearing loss, which often goes unaddressed. Factors contributing to this include age-related degeneration, exposure to loud noises, and medication or illnesses that affect hearing. The consequences of hearing impairment run deep. Physically, it can lead to headaches and muscle tension due to straining to hear. Emotionally, seniors may experience frustration, embarrassment, or isolation from their peers and family members. As communication becomes a hurdle, the world can feel silent and lonely.
