SCV BUSINESS VOICES Top Four Ways Hearing Aids Make You Look Good
DR. KEVIN BOLDER
AuD, Audiology Associates
According to the Hearing Health Foundation, nearly 50 million Americans experience hearing loss, yet only one in every five people who would benefit from wearing a hearing aid actually wears one. While some cite financial reasons or don’t believe they have a hearing problem, there are those who are concerned wearing hearing aids will make them appear weak or look old. We disagree. In fact, here are five of the top reasons we believe wearing hearing aids makes you look good. You have more energy to do the things you love - You might find it hard to believe that hearing aids can give you more energy, until you realize there is such a thing as hearing loss exhaustion. Hearing loss can
cause emotional exhaustion, too, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety and depression. You can be part of the conversation -
There’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to hear the conversation during family gatherings or in social situations. Get your hearing tested by a hearing healthcare professional and seek treatment immediately if they prescribe hearing devices. You look fashionable - Depending on the type of hearing loss you have, you may not be a candidate for one of the invisible hearing aids. No worries — there are plenty of ways to incorporate other models into your own fashion style. You’re a role model for good health - Untreated hearing loss can lead to a variety of other health-related problems or be an indicator of other serious medical issues such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, depression, anxiety and stress, brain atrophy and increased risk for falls.
That’s why it’s important to have your hearing tested — especially if you suspect you have hearing loss — and to seek treatment immediately if you’re diagnosed with hearing loss.
