The Social Effects of Untreated Hearing Loss
Struggling in Conversations: When it’s hard to follow conversations, you might find yourself nodding along or avoiding group discussions altogether.
Withdrawing from Social Activities: Family gatherings, dinner parties, and other social events can become sources of frustration, leading many people to avoid them.
Feeling Misunderstood: Hearing loss can create a barrier between you and others, leaving you feeling disconnected or left out.
Increased Risk of Loneliness: Loneliness isn’t just an emotional issue—it’s a health concern. Studies show that loneliness can increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and even heart disease.
