May 31, 2024
Did you know?
Hearing loss happens gradually over time and often with prolonged period of untreated hearing loss, one gets used to hearing less without realising it.
Very often, many individuals who came to consult us already suffers hearing loss for many years. We can broadly classified hearing loss into 3 stages: early, middle and advanced stage. The amount of difficulty faced by these hearing impaired individuals in each stage are not the same and can increase by the day.
One key thing to note is that hearing loss is not just about hearing less sounds, it is also associated with other health issues. Delay in seeking hearing intervention also brings about other significant, often overlooked impacts such as on mental health, behavioral changes, social withdrawals and relationships. Delayed treatment also affects the outcome of hearing aid amplification. Our patient care management experience consistently shown individuals who come in earlier to seek hearing intervention through the use of hearing aid enjoy significant better outcomes.
The early signs of hearing loss includes difficulty hearing conversations, especially so in noisy places like among the crowd or food centers.
