Hearing loss

Hearing Facts

Why put up with hearing loss?

Did you know that hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults? When left untreated it can significantly impact your quality of life.

 

But it does not have to be that way. There are remarkable quality-of-life-enhancing solutions. The key is early identification and intervention.

Those who wear a hearing instrument report a significant improvement in quality of life, self-confidence, personal relationships and mental well being. And today’s hearing instruments are as small, comfortable and attractive as they are powerful.

 

The evolution of the hearing instrument

Over the last 15 years, hearing instruments have been transformed from very large, very visible sound amplifiers to miniature high performance solutions. So today, it is often impossible to see that someone is wearing a hearing instrument.

Regaining hearing

The most common types of chronic hearing loss can be improved with hearing instruments.

 

Hearing improvement programs or hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing, or prevent or improve a hearing impairment caused by organic conditions.

 

Proper care and improvement can help people with hearing loss reclaim many sounds that would otherwise be lost to them. These sounds include the subtle variations in speech we rely upon to understand conversation. They also include an infinite variety of sounds that add color to life.
