Coping with Hearing Loss

by Alvin Toh

Hearing loss is a common condition which affects in excess of 30 million people in America. Hearing loss does not only affect those over 65 years old, but also younger people. 14% of 45-64 year olds suffer from hearing loss of some kind. Hearing loss can be damaging to someone's entire life, and so it needs to be resolved.

Hearing loss can affect your work Hearing loss can create communication problems at the workplace. Colleagues may become very frustrated with having to repeat what they say to you. They may even think that you are not capable of doing your work, which can result in losing your job.

Hearing loss and relationships Hearing loss can have a negative effect on relationships with friends and family. Turning up the volume on the television or stereo can be too noisy for others. People may become irritated or frustrated if you keep asking them to repeat themselves. As the hearing loss worsens, you may withdraw from conversations and become less sociable. Eventually, you may experience sadness or depression as others communicate less with you.

How to know if you have hearing loss You may not recognize the early signs of hearing loss. Most hearing loss is a gradual process and over time you will begin to stop hearing softer noises or those of a different pitch. You may be asking people to speak up or you may turn up the volume on your television and stereo. Often you may hear fine in a quiet environment but have trouble hearing when there are background noises. You may begin to think that others are mumbling when you can't make out all the words. Eventually, you find yourself communicating better when you are looking at the other person's face.

What you can do At the first sign of hearing loss, you should visit a hearing specialist. He or she can perform a hearing test to determine your type and level of hearing loss.

If your hearing loss can be treated medically, you will be referred to a medical doctor. If no medical treatment option is available, you may be prescribed hearing aids which can improve your hearing.

Hearing aids are now available in a different sizes, colors, shapes and designs. There is a hearing aid to suit everyone! Most of the latest hearing aids are small and yet packed with features.

By seeking help sooner, you reduce the financial and social costs associated with your hearing loss.
