Why Should You Act Early?
People with hearing loss wait an average of seven years before taking action. Even those affected by hearing loss who are aware of it often don't do anything for a long time.
This is because it's one thing to be conscious of your own hearing loss, but it's not that easy to recognize it as a concern. The reasons for this are complex, but it is due in part to a stubborn stigma that exists around hearing loss and hearing aids that we simply don’t see with eyesight problems.
But, if you avoid seeking treatment for hearing loss, you risk having serious repercussions. Scientists have found that after seven years or so, our brains actually lose the ability to hear some sounds ever again. Parts of the brain can also atrophy due to underuse when confronted with long-term untreated hearing loss.
The first step to treatment is getting your hearing tested. Contact us today if you would like to set up an appointment.
