• What? Could you please repeat yourself? I
  couldnt hear you.
• How often do you happen to say these lines to
  people around you, people communicating with you
  in person or on the phone? Deteriorating hearing
  isnt just frustrating and stressful but it can
  affect the cognitive abilities and health of an
  individual.

• Not only the people with hearing loss but also
  those around them including family and friends
  have to suffer a lot due to ones hearing
  impairment. When overlooked and left untreated,
  hearing loss can take a heavy toll on ones
  lifestyle, mental health and social life.
• Beyond deteriorated hearing acuity, there are
  many other ways hearing impairment and loss can
  impact peoples lives. Here are some of the most
  common consequences of impaired hearing and
  deafness thats left untreated for a long time.

Poor Cognitive Health

• Diminished cognitive function is one of the most
  noticeable significances of overlooked hearing
  impairment.
• People who are hard of hearing have to put extra
  effort to concentrate and pay attention to speech
  in their everyday environment, causing cognitive
  overload.
• By not using hearing aids and getting any other
  kind of treatment, the hard of hearing put
  themselves at a greater risk for dementia,
  Alzheimers disease and other cognitive declines.

5
Social Isolation and Mental Health Issue

• Hearing long has long been linked with
  psychological issues.
• People with persistent hearing loss using no
  hearing aids are more like to isolate themselves
  from social environments, which in acute
  conditions leads to mental disorders like
  depression, paranoia and anxiety.
• Those hard of hearing often avoid social outings,
  events, gatherings and conversations, giving way
  to destructive personality changes.

6
Affected Spatial Reasoning

• As people with impaired hearing suffer from
  social withdrawal, the lack of awareness of
  environment and social conversations can affect
  spatial reasoning.
• People who dont use hearing aids, tend to lose
  their ability to understand speech and sounds in
  noisy environments and end up diminishing their
  spatial awareness.
• Everything aside, relationships can come hard on
  people with affected hearing and those related to
  them.
• Also, quality of life is significantly affected
  when individuals dont seek suitable treatment
  solution for their hearing condition.

7
The Bottom Line

• So, if you know someone whos suffering from
  hearing loss and avoiding treatment or you
  yourself are hard of hearing, its in your best
  interest to get your hearing assessed and treated
  by a professional audiologist right away.
• Getting your hearing loss treated as soon as you
  detect it, can save you a lot of health problems
  and improve your quality of life.
