Do you find that you are repeating yourself to a loved one more often than you used to? When someone experiences hearing loss, they are often in denial at first. It can be frustrating for people close to them, but it is important to be empathetic. Hearing loss is more than just a loss of hearing, often people experiencing hearing loss fear it is a loss of vitality or a sign of declining health. Engage with them, ask about what they fear and why, let them talk it out and most importantly, educate yourself about the options.
