Don't leave your hearing loss untreated

hearing loss effects you in more ways than you think and also has a profound effect on the loved ones around you. let us help you take action and take your hearing loss early

It's not just talk...
Starting the conversation about hearing loss can be difficult, especially when starting the conversation with a loved one. However, taking the leap and starting the conversation can mean the end to bad hearing. What is also important to remember is that you aren't on your own when it comes to hearing loss. Here are some less known facts about hearing loss: 
HEARING LOSS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING DEMENTIA BY UP TO FIVE TIMES
In scientific studies conducted by University of Exeter and King's College London concluded that wearing a hearing an effective hearing aid has the effect to protect the brain and reduce the risk of dementia.

In an article by British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA) the study concluded that using technology such as hearing aids help people to connect with the world around them and increase brain functionality. 

By increasing brain activity, there is a higher level of cognitive engagement and a significantly reduced risk of developing dementia. 
[THE LONGER IT TAKES FOR YOU TO ACT ON YOUR HEARING LOSS,THE LONGER IT TAKES FOR YOUR HEARING TO GET BACK IN SHAPE
Did you know that the longer you leave your hearing loss untreated, the more significant your hearing loss becomes and takes longer to treat? 

The reasons behind this is because as you slowly develop hearing loss and can no longer hear certain noises, your brain then unlearns to interpret them. This makes the treatment for your hearing loss a more significant process.

In order to prevent this, it is important to talk about any hearing loss you experience and that way getting your hearing back in shape is an easier process. 
HEARING LOSS USUALLY ONLY EFFECTS CERTAIN FREQUENCIES
It's not an uncommon phenomenon for hearing loss to only affect certain frequencies. 

This is what makes it difficult to detect if you have a hearing loss as you'll be able to hear some sounds and frequencies and not others. 

This is why it is important to note any changes that you experience with your hearing and why it is also important to talk to loved ones about any hearing loss you experience in order to find a solution for treatment quicker and easier. 
USING A HEARING AID CAN SLOW DOWN THE DETERIORATION OF HEARING
Unfortunately, hearing loss is mainly age-related and therefore is a very common condition. However what can slow down the deterioration of your hearing is the use of hearing aids when the first signs of hearing loss are apparent. 

By keeping the brain active and interpreting sounds, using hearing aids can help to slow down the deterioration process of hearing. 
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS IS PREDICTED TO INCREASE
In the UK, it is predicted that over 25% of people over the age of 65 will develop a hearing loss that effects quality of life by 2020. 

As said in fact #4, the most common type of hearing loss is age-related. Unfortunately age-related hearing loss is inevitable, however, the severity of hearing loss can be treated and controlled with the use of hearing aids.

Do you know the signs of hearing loss? Test yourself with a few questions

What happens when you gradually stop hearing sounds?

When you gradually cease to hear certain sounds your brain "unlearns". It doesn't recognise them. When you have difficulty hearing you are likely to force your brain to devote too much energy processing sounds - at the expense of memory and thinking.

Why treat a hearing loss?

The sooner you tackle your hearing loss, your brain will have a much better chance of being able to recognise these sounds again.
