Wanting to preserve our sense of self and our independence as we age is a universal experience. The ability to participate in the hobbies we love, to communicate and confidently go about our lives isn鈥檛 something anyone would willing give up.
But when we think about hearing loss, it鈥檚 easy to miss the real ramifications of that loss.
鈥淗earing loss affects people in a way that many don鈥檛 see coming 鈥� it causes an immense change in how we experience the world around us and affects nearly all aspects of our lives,鈥� says Kim Galick, Registered Hearing Instrument Specialist and owner of in 91原创. 鈥淏ecause hearing plays such a big part in how we approach day-to-day life, it isn鈥檛 surprising that it鈥檚 often accompanied with feelings of depression and isolation.鈥�
The sound of leaves rustling in a summer breeze, our loved one鈥檚 laughter, how a simple conversation over coffee on a Sunday morning makes us feel 鈥� those are the real losses when we lose our hearing.
Considering those loses can help us realize the true value in what today鈥檚 hearing aids have to offer: our ability to hear and be heard, to feel confident walking alone, to enjoy music and connection with the people we love.
鈥淗earing aids can鈥檛 cure hearing loss but they can give someone experiencing hearing loss their independence and quality of life back,鈥� Galick says. 鈥淭heir ability to turn up the volume of the world around us isn鈥檛 something to ignore when we consider how heavily we rely on our ears to help us navigate the world.鈥�
