Understanding Hearing Loss
Gradual hearing loss is a very
common condition. Over time, the
wear and tear on your ears from
noise contributes to hearing loss
by damaging your inner ear. Genetics
and exposure to loud noises are
the main factors that contribute
to hearing loss. Other factors,
such as earwax blockage, can prevent
your ears from hearing sounds as
well as they should.
Unfortunately, you can't reverse
hearing loss resulting from nerve damage. However, you don't
have to live in a world of quieter,
less distinct sounds. Some signs
that you might have a hearing loss
include:
|
|
|
|
•
|
People
sound like they are mumbling |
|
•
|
Difficulty
understanding what people
are saying especially in noisy
situations like restaurants |
|
•
|
Frequently
asking people to “speak
up,” “speak more
clearly,” or to repeat
themselves |
|
•
|
Needing
to turn up the volume of the
television or radio |
|
•
|
Withdrawal
from conversations |
|
•
|
Avoidance
of some social settings |
When we lose the ability to hear
clearly, our lives become less vibrant.
Every aspect of your life is linked
to sound. Your friendships, family
relationships, music, television,
radio and work—all these things
involve hearing and being heard.
When you have hearing loss, you
often become isolated from life and
loved ones. The good news is that
