Hearing Loss Consequences

Many people suffer from hearing loss, are

aware of the issue, and continue to refuse or

delay intervention and management. There

may be a variety of factors that lead them to

this resolve. Many are in denial that a hearing

impairment exists, or feel as though it is a

loss of youth and strength. People worry over financial concerns,

or truly believe they can get along without amplification.

Many wait months or years before they seek treatment.

Considering the negative impacts and consequences of hearing

impairment, it is truly a shame that anyone would wait! Negative

impacts have been found in all areas of life.

Social, emotional, psychological, cognitive, and even physical

health effects have been associated with untreated hearing

impairment. Hearing impairment left unmanaged has a broad

range of implications in multiple areas of life! Overall quality of

life can be negatively impacted for some people.

Communication can be so difficult that many withdraw socially,

become isolated from family and friends, and have negative

effects on their job abilities. Research has associated hearing

impairment with emotional feelings of negativity, irritability, and

anger. Fatigue, stress, tension, and even depression have been

linked to untreated hearing difficulties. Many begin to avoid or

withdraw from typical social activities.

Others feel rejected socially, leading to loneliness. Personal safety

may even be at risk with a reduced ability to hear warning signals

and be generally alert. Job performance may drop, leading to a

reduction in earnings.

Overall, patients may show reduced psychosocial, emotional, and

physical health! In younger patients, even a slight decrease in

hearing sensitivity could increase learning difficulties related to

speech development, social and interpersonal skills, self-

consciousness, and academic achievement.

It is extremely important that hearing impairment be recognized

early, diagnosed, and treatment options made available! Waiting

could only lead to greater difficulty for patients of all ages!
