Many people are aware that their hearing has deteriorated but are
reluctant to seek help. Perhaps they don't want to acknowledge the problem, are
embarrassed by what they see as a weakness, or believe that they can "get
by" without using a hearing aid. And, unfortunately, too many wait years,
even decades, before getting treatment.

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
But time and again, research demonstrates the considerable negative
social, psychological, cognitive and health effects of untreated hearing loss .
. . with far-reaching implications that go well beyond hearing alone. In fact,
those who have difficulty hearing can experience such distorted and incomplete
communication that it seriously impacts their professional and personal lives,
at times leading to isolation and withdrawal.
Hearing loss is not just an ailment of old age. It can strike at any
time and any age, even childhood. For the young, even a mild or moderate case
of hearing loss could bring difficulty learning, developing speech and building
the important interpersonal skills necessary to foster self-esteem and succeed
in school and life.
