Answer: Actually, the opposite is true. When the ears are not hearing properly, they are not transmitting the sound to areas in the brain for understanding, so the brain’s function in these areas becomes reduced permanently.
Over time, this has a negative impact on the ability to process understanding of words and speech sounds. It will be much better for you to treat hearing loss early with hearing aids and avoid these problems. In other words, hearing aids would benefit you by keeping the auditory pathways of the brain active with appropriate stimulation of sounds and speech.
