If you have been ignoring a hearing problem
Missing words in conversations leads to a lot of personal issues. At least it did for me. I remember so well coming away from a dinner, and my son told me I responded incorrectly or was off subject when I was interjecting my thoughts.
It didn’t bother me so much that I didn’t get what was said right. What really bothered me was what the others must have thought of me when I didn’t get it right. I felt so embarrassed.
I have a high frequency hearing loss. It’s not volume but understanding certain parts of words that causes me to think they said something completely different than what was actually said.
Wearing my hearing aids takes away the fear of embarrassing myself. Often my family comments you are really hearing well now — I think they were embarrassed for me too.
A hearing loss doesn’t have to have this affect on anyone. Correcting your hearing loss is easy and simple to do. Please get your hearing checked and if you need help, get correction. You’ll be glad for the rest of your life you did.
