A hearing problem has sometimes been called an “invisible” condition.
Even though the problem is “invisible,” there are observable traits:
- Asking others to repeat for you
- Feeling embarrassed because you didn’t understand what someone said
- Avoiding certain situations because they are difficult for you
- Having to pretend that you understand
An untreated hearing loss may cause you become less visible in your circle of friends and family.
Don’t let a hearing problem control your life.
Have your hearing tested. Hearing aids are successful in the treatment for most hearing problems.
