Good Hearing – Your Path To Happiness
Posted by MaryRose Hecksel AuD, CCC-A on November 02, 2015
Hearing loss affects more than your ears – it has a direct correlation to your happiness. Studies show that uncorrected hearing loss contributes to reduced social activity, isolation, and feelings of being excluded – which can lead to depression.
Keeping current on your hearing health care with an audiologist is paramount to maintaining your quality of life. Audiologists are hearing health care professionals with advanced education who can design a hearing health plan specifically for you to maximize the benefits of improved hearing health.
Benefits of improved hearing include:
-Enhanced communication skills
-Improved relationships
-Increased earning potential
-Improved access to socializing, reducing odds for depression
-Enhanced sense of control
-Improved quality of life
-Protected income potential
-Improved thinking and memory
-Increased job performance
-Increased balance, reducing likelihood of falls
-Better engagement with family and friends
-Reduced likelihood of dementia onset
Hearing loss affects all segments of the population, from teenagers and Gen Xers to baby boomers and seniors. You are never too young to consult with an audiologist if you or your loved ones suspect hearing loss. Craft a hearing health care plan with your audiologist early to assure that you can live a healthy, happy life to the fullest and enjoy rewards for many years to come.
