Our experts recommend treating hearing loss as soon as you begin to recognise symptoms. Wearing hearing aids could have a positive impact on your overall quality of life and long-term health. They could help you to:
Benefits of wearing hearing aids
Hear clearly in most situations
Participate actively in conversation
Avoid the stress and embarrassment caused by hearing loss
Hear phone conversations more easily
Stop having to ask people to repeat themselves
Listen to the TV at the same volume as those around you
Early recognition could improve your quality of life
Hearing loss can get worse over time if left untreated. Getting treatment as soon as you recognise any early signs of hearing loss is important, especially considering the effects of leaving it untreated, such as
- Missing out on conversations with loved ones, friends, and colleagues every day
- Being left out or unable to hear during social events
- Feelings of isolation or depressed.
