Hearing Loss and What to Do

Do you or someone you know have difficulty hearing? Do you have difficulty understanding conversation in groups? Do you sometimes ask others to repeat what they have said even though others seem to understand?

You may be one of the estimated 35 million Americans who have a hearing loss. Don't panic.

Hearing loss is the third most common health condition following only heart disease and arthritis. According to Sergei Kochkin, Ph.D., Director of the Better Hearing Institute:

Studies have linked untreated hearing loss to:

• irritability, negativism and anger
• fatigue, tension, stress and depression
• avoidance or withdrawal from social situations
• social rejection and loneliness
• reduced alertness and increased risk to personal safety
• impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks
• reduced job performance and earning power
• diminished psychological and overall health
