Hearing Supports Social-Emotional, Cognitive, and Physical Wellbeing.

Hearing loss can creep up gradually. Some sounds remain audible, while others, like higher- pitched sounds, become more difficult to hear.

Softer, high-pitched consonants like “s,” “f,” “sh” and “t” play a key role in our ability to understand speech clearly. Therefore, people with hearing loss often say, “I can hear, but I don’t understand what is being said.”

Individuals with hearing loss can find it difficult to communicate with friends and family, constantly struggling to hear and understand. As a result, the impact of this miscommunication can bring with it feelings of isolation, fatigue, frustration, embarrassment, irritability, stress, depression, and a reduction in self-confidence.

Hearing loss can present difficulties in communication within school, work, home, and social situations. While hearing loss and communication challenges can impact the core dimensions of well-being, growing evidence shows that hearing rehabilitation can provide benefits in these three areas:

• Social-Emotional well-being: Hearing well fosters easier engagement, stronger connections, and a more positive outlook.

• Cognitive well-being: Hearing well supports cognitive fitness.

• Physical well-being: Hearing well enables people to live a more active and healthier lifestyle.

Being able to hear well, contributes to you overall well being. At Ear Studio, hearing rehabilitation programs, communication strategies, hearing protection, an annual ear wax clean, and hearing aid solutions can all assist in improving and protecting your hearing.
