We are in an age of the bionic man and woman: replacement joints, botox, hair color, contact lenses and more. We reap the rewards of modern technologies to stay functional as we live longer more fulfilled lives. Nilsson Hearing Center’s goal is to transform lives through improved hearing, understanding, and communication abilities…and that means more than just selling a product, it’s a holistic approach incorporating the ears and brain, products and services.
Is Hearing Loss Correlated to Brain Function?
Estimates show that nearly 34 million Americans have a hearing loss and of those individuals over 60% are under retirement age. Studies are beginning to show that hearing loss, left untreated, has negative consequences not previously associated with hearing.
National studies show that hearing loss increases social isolation, depression, stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil. Additionally, the deprivation of sound frequencies to the brain auditory system is believed to cause atrophy of the brain and a reduction in cognitive processing.
The average individual waits 7 years after noticing hearing loss before seeking a solution…and when they finally do, they regret they didn’t come in 7 years ago. DON’T WAIT! We can show you what that you’re missing right NOW!

“As we age it is natural for our internal processing speed to slow down, our memory to diminish, and our attention to decrease; however, since wearing the Oticon Agil Hearing Devices and training with The Brain Fitness Program I’ve transformed my life.
