The Impact of Untreated Hearing Loss

Charles Fontaine • May 06, 2022

Any degree of hearing loss – even mild hearing loss – has a significant impact on communication, which can negatively affect relationships, education and work. Studies show that untreated hearing loss can have significant health and social consequences, for example:
-Feelings of sadness or depression
-Less likely to participate in social situations
-More likely to report anxiety and paranoia
-May contribute to dementia and cognitive decline

The good news is that treating hearing loss has multiple positive benefits, such as:
-Improved relationships at home
-Improved sense of independence
-Improved sex life
-Improved participation in social activities
-Improved mental health and potentially slowing cognitive decline
-Help prevent risk of income loss

The average person waits on average seven years after noticing hearing difficulties before seeking treatment. Why not get your hearing health assessed during May - Speech and Hearing Month? Contact us today!
