Hearing loss management

Hearing loss needs to be addressed! Hearing loss can be due to chronic exposure to loud sounds, due to ageing, ear injur, nerve damage, ear infections or excessive earwax. Hearing loss can significantly affect quality of life. Some may be treatable with medication or surgery, while others can benefit significantly with a hearing aid. Those with hearing loss find it difficult to communicate with others, children with hearing loss have delayed or no development of speech and language. Not being able to hear can also be dangerous, for example not being able to hear honking on the street.

Symptoms of hearing loss include

Muffling of speech and other sounds
Difficulty understanding words, especially against background noise or in a crowd
Trouble hearing consonants
Frequently asking others to speak more slowly, clearly, and loudly
Needing to turn up the volume of the television or radio
Withdrawal from conversations
Avoidance of some social settings

The treatment of hearing loss depends on the cause. We also provide certain hearing tests at home (depends on your location). Fix an appointment to know more!
