Signs and Consequences of Untreated Hearing Loss

Evidence of a hearing loss may emerge from any number of behaviors that individuals perform. Individuals may compensate for a loss by employing one or more of the following behaviors:

Straining to hear what people say

Asking people to talk louder

Asking people to repeat what they say

Withdrawing from conversation because it is hard to hear

Focusing their vision on the person speaking, so they can see their expressions and read their lips

Turning the television volume up loud enough to hear, while other people complain that it is too loud

Believing that everyone mumbles

Nodding your head during conversation even though you don’t know what has been said

Other evidence of hearing loss:

Ringing in your ears
People seem embarrassed by your answers during a conversation
Family members making comments about your hearing

Prior to proper treatment for a hearing loss, the hearing impaired person and those around them must deal with its effects. Many of the difficulties hearing loss creates have social consequence and can be serious.

Some of the difficulties may include:

It is important to understand that by obtaining proper treatment, accepting hearing loss and having patience, many of these difficulties can be overcome. If you or someone you care about are experiencing signs of hearing loss, contact us today to schedule a hearing test and consultation.

Resentment for having the loss.

Anger at being reminded continuously that you have an impairment.

Sadness that you have lost something important.

Frustration on the part of the hearing impaired and the family when seeking treatment is put off.

Embarrassment

Difficulty maintaining close relationships with friends and family.

Withdrawing in social situations because it is too difficult to understand what’s being said.

Rejection by friends because of public embarrassment, when private matters are discussed to loudly or incorrect responses

  you owe it to yourself/family/friends/employer, to be able to hear and speak with clarity. I have been using hearing aids since 1987. I just moved to Worcester county, md. and have been concerned about finding the professional level of knowledge and service I have been use to in Baltimore, md.

all of my doctors in Baltimore were at johns Hopkins hospital. I went there because they are young and on the cutting edge of health care. I feel the same way about matthew favinger, audiologist with hearing aid associates.

this review was unsolicited and is my personal submission.
