New research from Oticon suggests that their hearing aids could reduce stress levels by reducing the impact noise has on people.
Oticon is committed to improving the lives of people with hearing loss by continuing their BrainHearing Research, which looks at reducing listening effort. The company’s new studies are exploring how changes in sound affect heart health and other aspects on well-being.
A recent study conducted by Oticon found that when listened closely enough for an extended period without interruption or distraction, certain frequencies may cause stress hormones like cortisol levels rise while others have calming effects.
In order to find out if listening to loud sounds caused any stress or discomfort, they measured how your pupils dilated when you heard different volumes of sound. They also studied heart rates both during the lab experiment and in real life situations for people who had been exposed as well!
When we listen to speech, especially if it’s loud and chaotic like an airport or street festival with many people talking at once; our body experiences a rise in stress hormones. However by using Oticon More™ hearing aids you can enjoy high quality sounds while reducing any additional anxiety-creating moments because of noise pollution!
Oticon were able to also conduct a field study, whereby they observed these effects in a real life setting. By using the Oticon ON app and wearables to measure heart rate, they were able to see how real-world sound exposure affects heart rate and how often a person’s heart rate is increased by sound changes.
