It’s no secret that functioning communication is a basic requirement of a harmonious and happy relationship. However, what if the relationship is the very thing that’s impaired, because one of the partners is affected by hearing loss?
One international hearing loss campaign, called Hear The World, has concerned itself with just that question and, in time for Valentine’s Day on 14th February, is publishing surprising results of the “Hearing is Living” study.
Among other things, it shows that 1 in 3 people with hearing loss feel more attractive, lead better partnerships and enjoy a more fulfilled love life since wearing a hearing aid.
This is fantastic, but worryingly, 50% of respondents with hearing loss but without a hearing aid, had not yet consulted a specialist about it, which makes studies like this so important as it helps to start the conversation and thereby raise awareness.
Taking action with hearing loss can make a huge difference to your life and your family’s life. If you are experiencing problems I urge you to book a hearing assessment with your local audiologist.
Digital hearing aids have proved to be a major success in
the enhancement of people’s lives. The technology is available in entry, mid-range
and superior classes all of which have different features and capabilities.
One
of my patients wrote these few words which sums up her happiness ‘A year ago I
came to you a living hell, now I am a living heaven. Thank you for improving my
life….’
