Is hearing loss invisible?
In some ways, yes. The person with hearing loss sometimes feels that they can ‘get by’ in conversations by nodding along, smiling, and being ‘agreeable’ when they may have missed important parts of the conversation.
BUT, in other ways, hearing loss can be more visible than we think…
Hearing loss can alter the way that others perceive you - perhaps you seem more distant or aloof, insensitive or distracted during conversations. This can change the dynamic and adversely affect relationships.
If you can’t follow the conversation,
people notice you’re not at your best, that you don’t participate in the conversations as you used to, or seem disinterested due to smiling or agreeing to the wrong thing. The disconnect is real, and most importantly, it does not have to be this way!
Let those you care about, know that you DO care about what they are saying, and take back your role in conversations and events!
Good hearing is important to our relationships, brain health, overall well-being and therefore our quality of life!
