Many people are aware of the extent that their hearing has deteriorated, and are reluctant to seek help. Unfortunately, too many people wait years, even decades, before getting treatment. You may be suffering from hearing loss and the symptoms associated with untreated hearing loss.
Studies have linked untreated hearing loss to:
- Irritability, negativity and anger
- Fatigue, tension, stress and depression
- Avoidance or withdrawal from social situations
- Social rejection and loneliness
- Reduced alertness, increased risk to personal safety
- Impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks
- Reduced job performance and earning power
- Diminished psychological and overall health
