Improve Your Hearing and Improve Your Health

It’s obvious that hearing loss affects a person’s immediate ability to communicate effectively, but

did you realize that poor hearing can be harmful to your physical and emotional health as well?

Important medical information may be missed if a hearing impaired patient doesn’t hear or completely

understand the questions asked by their medical

experts, and too many people with untreated hearing loss cope by withdrawing from friends, family and social circles. This

combination of factors can lead to declining health, depression, loneliness and an overall sense of hopelessness.

If you or someone you know is suffering in silence it may be time to talk to

your doctor about your hearing loss. Some hearing problems are easily managed in the doctor’s office, but after an initial hearing screening, your

doctor may refer you to a hearing specialist or audiologist for further examination.

Hearing aids are the most common solution to hearing loss. They work by

amplifying sound and funneling it directly into the ear canal. Hearing accessories such as amplified telephones, TV listening systems, and personal

handheld amplifiers can be used alone or in conjunction with a hearing aid.

Hearing specialists are trained to help you understand more about the full

range of hearing devices and accessories that are available. A specialist can guide you in the selection of the best hearing aid for your situation and will

educate you in the use and maintenance of the device.

Hearing loss is not just part of “growing old” that has to be accepted. There are solutions to your hearing loss and knowledgeable hearing specialists

waiting to help you restore your hearing and enjoy the best life, and best health possible.
