What Happens if You Ignore Hearing Loss

Research shows that untreated hearing loss has troubling consequences that go far beyond simply misunderstanding what someone says. It can contribute to cognitive decline and a diminished quality of life. It happens so gradually that many people don’t realize at first what they’ve lost. Voices on the phone begin to sound muffled. Conversations in crowded places become harder to hear. Even with the volume turned up, the television isn’t loud enough. “By the time people come in for a hearing test, they often have significant Hearing Loss ,” says Lee Akst, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Voice Center and assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. What noise does to us: One in three Americans ages 50 to 59 suffers from hearing loss, according to a 2011 study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The number climbs to almost 45 percent for people 60 to 69, and it continues to rise. By the time we reach our 80s, n

How Can I Keep My Family Safe When I Cannot Hear the Danger

What is that noise?” my son asked me one lazy afternoon this summer. “I don’t hear anything,” I replied. “It sounds like someone is coming up our driveway. The motor is revving. Can’t you hear it?” he practically shouts in an increasingly worried voice. He was nervous that danger was approaching. I didn’t hear a thing. This goes on for a minute or two as I put down my book and move closer to the source of the apparent sound, listening intently. Still nothing. My son is getting more agitated so we walk across the lawn and look down our driveway. Now I can see the cause of the disturbance. A couple of neighborhood kids are riding their motorbikes up and down our dirt driveway. They probably should have asked permission first, but there is no real danger. But what if next time there is? Now I am scared. How can I keep family safe if I can’t hear the danger ? Rather than be cowed by fear, I spent some time researching my options. Here are my ideas. Please add

The Truth About What Hearing Aids Say About You

Image
Thanks to modern technology, we can have face-to-face conversations with friends and family members and navigate from place to place using mobile telephones that fit in the palm of our hand. The cars we drive can slow down and stop even before we know we need to. And many of us operate a variety of appliances in our homes we program to shut off when we fall asleep, wake us in the morning — even sing to us when they’ve finished their cleaning cycle. So why do people still wait an average of seven years before seeking treatment for their hearing loss? As comfortable as we have all become using the latest technology to enhance our quality of life in every other area, why do we hesitate even one minute to consider wearing hearing aids? If you recognize yourself in this population of procrastinators, it’s time for a paradigm shift — especially if you’re hesitating because you think wearing hearing devices makes you look old or weak. Contrary to what you currently believe, resear

How To Travel When You Have Hearing Loss

I recently traveled to Cuba as part of a people-to-people cultural exchange program organized by Insight Cuba. It was a magnificent trip full of art, beauty, learning, eye-opening experiences and Cuban cigars. I highly recommend a visit if you have the opportunity and interest. Before the trip I was concerned that my hearing loss would make things more challenging. Accents and unfamiliar words in a new language are always difficult for me to follow. I promised myself that I would advocate for myself to optimize my chances for good communication, but that I would also manage my frustration if I was not able to hear everything. Much of traveling can be enjoyed by simply taking a look around, and that was my plan, barring any catastrophes. My trip taught me important lessons about traveling when you have hearing loss. See my tips below and please share yours in the comments. Prepare In Advance Research whatever location you are visiting in advance to see what hearing loss acco
