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 everyone understands the
benefits of seeking treatment.
