Hearing loss often remains untreated for several years after the onset of its effects, such as missed conversations. During those several years, some of the more severe effects of hearing loss may set in.
As conversations become more difficult and social interaction less enjoyable, it's all too easy to turn away and become more socially isolated. We are social creatures, though, and such isolation may lead to depression.
The cure? A simple hearing test may pave the way to hearing aids and a renewed sense of being connected to family and friends!
