Hearing Loss is Complicated

Clarifying Information on Hearing Loss

Most people minimize how complex hearing loss can be. Those with normal hearing may assume that those who are hard of hearing simply hear sounds at a quieter level. Many also assume that hearing aids are just amplifiers that are used to make sounds louder. 

This is not the case. Hearing loss can impact the way a person hears particular sounds in speech. This especially true when they are in a crowded area that has too much background noise or if multiple people are speaking at the same time. 

Hearing aids help with speech comprehension, or they can let users become more aware of their surroundings, which enhances safety.  Hearing aids help people hear better, not just louder.

Side Effects of Hearing Loss 

Hearing loss is an intricate chronic disease. Repercussions of hearing loss affect more than the inability to hear. Other side effects include higher rates of anxiety, hypertension, cognitive decline, depression, fatigue, frustration, and social isolation.    

Modern hearing aid devices have been shown to improve speech comprehension when a user is in an area with a lot of background noise.
