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 everyone
understands the benefits of seeking treatment.
