According to a recent study published by dailymail. Based on studies conducted in people with age 45-65 years, musicians slower memory loss and listening in noise than non musicians.
Researchers say musicians aged 45 to 65 superior in memory and hearing speech in noise than non-musicians. Dr Kraus said music training “fine-tunes” the nervous system. Experience extracting meaningful sound from complex soundscape – and remember the sequence of sounds enhance auditory skills development.
“The difficulty hearing speech in noise is one of the most common complaint of older adults, but the hearing loss associated with age only partially account for this barrier that can lead to depression and social isolation”
Playing music involves their ability to retrieve relevant patterns, including their own voice instrument harmonies, and rhythms and then remember it for later played back, that’s why musicians have slower memory loss.
Not only has benefits for slowing memory loss and hearing loss, playing music also has a relaxing effect, lowering the rhythm of the heart and calm the mind for most types of music.
