You want to be polite when you’re talking to friends. At work, you want to look engaged, even enthralled with what your manager/colleagues/clients are talking about. With family, you might find it easier to simply tune out the conversation and ask the person next to you to repeat what you missed, just a little louder, please. You have to move in a little closer when you’re on zoom calls. You pay attention to body language and facial clues and listen for verbal inflections. You read lips. And if that doesn’t work, you nod in understanding as if you heard everything. Maybe you’re in denial. You ..read more

Hearing loss is usually accepted as just another part of getting older: as we get older, we begin to hear things a little less clearly. Perhaps we need to ask people to speak up or repeat themselves when they talk. Maybe the volume on our TV keeps getting louder. We may even notice that we’re becoming forgetful. Memory loss is also normally considered a natural part of aging as dementia and Alzheimer’s are much more prevalent in the senior citizen population than in the younger population at large. But is it possible that there’s a connection between the two? And, even better, what if there w ..read more

Keep your eyes on the road. Naturally, it’s good advice, but it doesn’t speak to your other senses. As an example, consider the amount of work your ears are doing while driving. You’re using your ears to connect with other people in your vehicle, alert you to important information coming up on your dashboard, and help you monitor other vehicles. So when you experience hearing impairment, the way you drive can change. That doesn’t automatically mean you will have to stop driving because you’ve become overly dangerous. Distracted driving and inexperience are greater liabilities when it comes to ..read more

If I Was Suffering From Hearing Loss, How Could I Tell?

The last time you ate dinner with family, you were rather aggravated. It wasn’t because of family crisis (this time). No, the issue was that you couldn’t hear a thing over the loud noise of the room. So you didn’t hear the details about Nancy’s promotion, and you didn’t have a chance to ask about Todd’s new puppy. It was frustrating. You try to play it off as if the room’s acoustics are the problem. But you can’t completely discount the possibility that perhaps your hearing is beginning to fail. It can be extremely challenging to self-diagnose hearing loss (that’s why, generally, it’s not rec ..read more
