One
of the single biggest causes of isolation, depression and anxiety in
today’s society is
having
a hearing loss...yet it’s one of the easiest problems to overcome.
Of course, you may feel that it’s an irritation or annoyance...
You may have noticed some common traits...
- You feel people seem to mumble.
- You hear people speaking; but you
can’t always make out what they
are saying.
- You struggle to hear a soft voice or
a person talking in another room
- Although you can’t lip-read you find
it helpful to be face to face when
you have a conversation
- The television is louder than it used
to be...especially when watching
foreign movies or dramas... but not
the News.
- It has become harder for you to
hear in noisier situations such as
a restaurant, a car, out shopping or at a family get-together.
- Are you beginning to avoid
social activities?
Your problems, difficulties and needs are unique to you and so your
solutions should be too.
