It's obvious that hearing loss affects a person's immediate ability to communicate effectively, but did you realize that poor hearing can be harmful to your physical and emotional health as well? Important medical information may be missed if a hearing impaired patient doesn't hear or completely understand the questions asked by their medical experts, and too many people with untreated hearing loss cope by withdrawing from friends, family and social circles. This combination of factors can lead to declining health, depression, loneliness and an overall sense of hopelessness.
