medical attention for hearing ailments, it is important to take
charge at the first signs of trouble.
A study on the psychological effects of hearing loss was done
for the American Psychology Association. The National Council
on Aging study found that 2,304 people who suffered from
hearing loss but used no form of treatment were 50% more likely
to suffer from sadness or depression than individuals who wore
hearing aids. It was found that individuals not using hearing aids
showed more signs of anger, anxiety and frustration, causing
them to be less involved in social activities than those who
wear aids. The risk for dementia also increases in patients who
suffer from hearing loss, due to sensory loss and growing social
isolation, pointed out in a study conducted by the Archives of
Neurology.
Start becoming aware of the signs of hearing loss, and consult
your doctor or audiologist if you start to notice some of the
symptoms:
• Trouble hearing over the phone
• Vertigo, causing dizziness, pain, or ringing in the ears
• Mumbled voices
• Having to ask others to repeat themselves often
• Avoidance of social situations
• Having a family medical history of hearing loss
Individuals with hearing loss may often be reluctant to face
the reality, but may not know about the deeper implications
of letting it go untreated. If you or someone you know may be
experiencing some of the symptoms of hearing loss, be sure to
understand and share the benefits of seeking treatment.
