Dr. Chang Chih-Ming, an ENT physician at Asia East Hospital, states that human hearing tends to decline gradually after the age of 50, with up to 40% of people over 65 experiencing hearing loss. Dr. Chang emphasizes the importance of early hearing aid use to prevent irreversible damage and cognitive decline, highlighting a case where a 67-year-old man's life improved significantly after wearing hearing aids. The hospital's report shows an increase in referrals and acceptance of hearing aids due to improved technology and awareness of the benefits in enhancing quality of life and potentially preventing dementia.
