How can Severe/Profound Hearing Loss have Serious Consequences on Your Life?

Severe/profound hearing loss (SPHL) can be more than just a worsened state of mild/moderate hearing loss.    

Anyone who has mild/moderate hearing loss can experience frustrations while communicating. This can lead to socially withdrawing from others because it becomes too challenging and requires too much effort. As we’ve all been made well aware of, we know that becoming too isolated can cause depression.  

The strain of trying to hear others, or read their facial expressions can cause a person with hearing loss to become fatigued. When others communicate with you, they may not be accommodating to your listening needs.

SPHL is Apparent on a Daily Basis

Anyone who has SPHL has difficulty with communication in every conversational situation. It doesn’t matter if the room is loud or quiet. 

This obstacle hinders your capacity to form and maintain relationships that are crucial to functioning in society. It’s how we understand ourselves and know where we fit in. 

Not only does SPHL cause a hindrance in communication, but you may also experience other negative circumstances: 

  1. Poor self-confidence due to stressful/confusing conversations and annoying the person you are speaking to.
  2. A loss of independence because they need to rely on others to speak clearly or always have a buddy with you who will clarify what you don’t understand. 

SPHL influences Mental Health

Any roadblocks that interfere with relationships that you have with others will affect the way you see yourself. This can lead to mental health issues, i.e. anxiety and depression. These two factors escalate social isolation, which is already compounded by poor communication skills. 

It’s important to point out that very high levels of depression and anxiety can even be found in those with healthy hearing, who regularly communicate with people who have SPHL. In other words, the main concern isn’t necessarily hearing loss, but the interruption of a natural flow of communication between two or more people.

Getting Help for SPHL

Patients with SPHL need the best intervention immediately. Providing the proper hearing aids, along with auditory training, can guide them to their best hearing. Getting in touch with others, in a safe manner, who are going through the same problems can be of help. Peer support for any dilemma, including hearing loss, can be effective. Knowing that others have gone through the same or similar experiences can give you hope.   

If you are noticing any range of difficulty with hearing, please contact us at Pure Sound Hearing for a complimentary hearing test and consultation.
