Most people think that hearing loss is something that happens to other people.
Do you have trouble understanding what people are saying especially in noisy places, constantly ask people to repeat themselves or have difficulty hearing women and children’s voices?
Do you have ringing in your ears, find it hard to hear on the phone, turn the TV volume up to a level other people find uncomfortable or avoid social situations that you used to love going to? Are people even teasing you about going deaf?
Hearing loss affects your whole being.
-
Emotional health
When you can hear clearly, you can enjoy the sounds of laughter, music, nature or conversations with family and friends. Hearing these sounds helps us feel part of families, communities and everything that’s going on in our lives. It makes moments more memorable and life more enjoyable. Imagine how you would feel if you couldn’t hear any of these sounds…
-
Physically and mentally
Hearing loss plays a major role in our physical and mental well-being. More and more research is linking hearing loss to dementia and cognitive decline - your hearing is impaired, your sense of space shrinks, you miss warning signs and you withdraw from social activities and situations. This leaves your physical and mental health vulnerable.

Everyday life
Most important of all, hearing keeps you connected to the world around you. But when you suffer hearing loss, all of your conversations, interactions and shared moments are strained, which can have a big impact on you every day. Think about it. Hearing loss means that you don’t live life to the full and feel less independent, less confident and less secure.
