Consequences of Hearing Loss
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. Unfortunately, too many wait years, even decades, to address the effects of hearing loss and to receive treatment.
Research demonstrates the considerable effects of hearing loss on development as well as the negative social, psychological, cognitive and health effects of untreated hearing loss. Each can have far-reaching implications that go well beyond hearing alone. In fact, those who have difficulty hearing can experience distorted and incomplete communication that seriously impacts their professional and personal lives. This can lead to isolation and withdrawal.
Studies have linked untreated hearing loss effects 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
Hearing loss is not just an ailment of old age. It can be present at any time and any age, even childhood. In the pediatric population, even a mild or moderate case of hearing loss could lead to difficulty in learning, developing speech and building the important interpersonal skills necessary to foster self-esteem and succeed in school and life.
