Hearing loss, whether mild or severe, can significantly impact daily life, particularly in social situations and in public spaces, like restaurants and parties. This can lead to isolation and reduced quality of life for those affected.
If hearing loss is left untreated and attributed solely to ageing, the hearing condition can deteriorate to the point where the person feels unable or uninterested in participating in conversations. Social isolation should not be underestimated, and it is crucial that the family is able to recognise the early signs of hearing loss.
This is why the use of hearing aids is essential:
Hearing aids help maintain relationships, improve listening skills and support a fulfilling life.
In general, wearing hearing aids brings many benefits to the life of a person with hearing loss: watching a movie, listening to music, being independent or having normal relationships again are just some of the advantages of using a hearing aid.
As it is very personal, everyone uses the hearing aid that best suits their needs but also their body.
There are two main types of hearing aids: behind-the-ear hearing aids, which the wearer wears behind the ear, and in-the-ear hearing aids, which are placed inside the ear.
Hearing aids are an excellent investment for people who want a more active social life. Visit the Amplifon centre nearest to you and book your first free hearing consultation. Our hearing experts will be able to advise you on the best hearing aid for your needs.
Hearing health is frequently overlooked, much like the sense of hearing itself, which is one of our most essential senses. We should try to include in our annual medical check-ups, as with blood tests and dental visits, for example, specific tests such as audiometry, which are key to checking our hearing ability. Find your nearest Amplifon centre and book an appointment for you or a family member.
