HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UNTREATED HEARING LOSS

 

If left untreated, hearing loss can have other negative social and health impacts in both adults and children that go beyond the hearing impairment itself and include reduced quality of life and well-being. Potential health impacts from hearing loss can include headaches, muscle tension, and increased stress and blood pressure levels. Some studies have linked untreated hearing loss in adults to depression, fatigue, social withdrawal and impaired memory.

If you think you may have hearing loss, make an appointment to see a hearing health professional, such as an audiologist or an audiometricist, and have a Hearing Test.
