The Impact of Hearing Loss
The Effects of Untreated Hearing Loss
Studies have shown that untreated hearing loss can put one at a higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia by up to 500%. In addition to this, one’s risk for falling is increased by 300%, and risk of social isolation and depression by 200%. However, treating hearing loss with hearing aids or other assistive devices can reverse these negative higher risks and lead to improved communication, social interaction, and overall quality of life, leading to increased happiness.
The Impact of Hearing Loss on Relationships
As communication is essential to bond with family and friends, people with hearing impairment might find it challenging to communicate effectively, making it hard to sustain and strengthen connections, or to even choose to participate in relationships as the strain to hear can be too great. The inability to take part in social activities that they would do with their loved ones can create an even larger feeling of separation.
Advantages to Hearing Loss Prevention
Protecting your hearing not only enhances the longevity of your senses, but also helps maintain an optimum quality of life. Therefore to reduce the risk, it is important to take preventive measures like wearing ear protection in noisy environments, avoiding noises that may damage your hearing, and consulting a doctor or specialist for treatment as soon as you detect signs of hearing loss such as tinnitus or difficulty understanding speech with background noise present.

What Our Patients Are Saying
"I have been very pleased with my decision to visit WCHB for my next set of hearing aids. I have been an aid wearer for over 50 years and have had many experiences with different products and providers. I can honestly say that the Hearing evaluation I got from Alexis is likely the most thorough and comprehensive I have ever had and I was so grateful for that. Ashley fitted me in my new aids yesterday and that whole process has gone very smoothly. Very professional and complete in all of the service that I have been given thus far. Thanks WCHB!!"
