Hearing Loss

What Does it Mean to Have a Hearing Loss?
It could mean not hearing the doorbell ring or missing the punch line of a joke. It could mean missing key information in a business meeting or avoiding seeing friends for fear of being "found out."

For most people hearing loss occurs gradually, so you may not notice the signs right away. Some of the most common signs of hearing loss include:

• People sound as though they are mumbling.
• You can hear people talking but cannot understand them.
• Hearing conversation in background noise, like restaurants, is very difficult.
• Family and friends notice your hearing loss and make mention of it.
• You have to turn the TV volume louder than what others find comfortable.

Impact of Untreated Hearing Loss
Numerous recent studies have shown that untreated hearing loss affects our emotional and social well being, our relationships with friends and family, and overall quality of life. For individuals still in the workplace, hearing loss can have a negative impact on income potential as well.
