More and more people are being found to have a previously undiagnosed hearing loss during a new hearing screening program offered by Independent hearing aid company (Associated Independent Hearing Aid Services) A.I.H.A.S.
What is more shocking is that some clients are going through their daily activities, oblivious in most cases to hearing losses of up to 60%. These people can in their own eyes, cope reasonably well but in the main find it difficult to accept and more importantly act upon their hearing loss.
In view of these facts A.I.H.A.S. thought it would be a good idea to build a more positive case to wearing hearing aids by giving 20 reasons why people should do something about a hearing loss.
- Research suggests that in the majority of cases, wearing Hearing aids can slow down the degeneration of a hearing loss compared to people who have a hearing loss and do not wear hearing aids.
- Wearing Hearing aids sooner rather than later can give you a much better opportunity to rehabilitate to previously missing sounds.
- Research has shown in most cases that there is a reduction of the effects of tinnitus whilst wearing Hearing aids .
- In nearly all cases, wearing Hearing aids can help people to hear better when listening in back ground noise.
- Hearing aids can help to prevent auditory deprivation or the wiping of the brains memory bank of sounds.
- Wearing Hearing aids generally allows others to watch T.V. with you at a more comfortable volume.
- People who wear hearing aids later than advised generally find it harder to get on with them
- Hearing aids are a lot more discreet and even undetectable to others when worn.
- Family and friends can get very frustrated with someone close to them who has a Hearing Loss. When discussing the idea of having Hearing aids with someone who is in denial of their problem can cause stress to all concerned.
