Hearing loss is more than just an annoyance. It has a significant impact on your health, social, and economic state. Even a mild loss can result in communication difficulties. This commonly leads to withdrawal from social situations, creating social isolation. A lack of social connection can have serious consequences on mental health, including depression and mental degradation. Studies indicate those with untreated hearing loss are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, and are twice more likely to develop dementia. Hearing loss can also impact your work, affecting income. Don’t compromise your health and overall wellbeing. If you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, get your hearing tested.
