Hearing aids<\/a>\u00a0can improve some hearing losses; other hearing losses are too mild to warrant hearing devices but damaging enough to cause impairment. In such cases, the patient should still seek assistance from a professional to discuss communication strategies and other steps to take to improve quality of life. If hearing aids are not the answer, your doctor will determine your treatment based on the severity of your hearing loss as well as its cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHearing Impaired Need Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If left untreated, hearing loss can be debilitating to both the patient as well as his or her family. Those with normal hearing often take for granted the ease in which we hear and communicate\u2013one-on-one, through cell phones, or by listening to the radio. It\u2019s easy to become frustrated with a family member suffering with hearing loss simply because it\u2019s hard for a person with normal hearing to understand the problem and resulting difficulties it presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patience, compassion and a willingness to help treat the problem are crucial in situations like this. These qualities also are important during and after treatment. Hearing aids, for instance, can interfere with cell phone use, while some hearing devices are not adaptable with phone use at all. In any case, tolerance and understanding is critical. Those suffering with hearing loss have plenty of emotional and psychological adjustments to make without having the added worry of upsetting or frustrating family members or friends. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
