Have you ever visited your GP or hospital about hearing concerns, only to be told there’s “nothing to be done” or simply “well, that’s just what happens at your age”?
Perhaps you were diagnosed with tinnitus and advised to “just learn to live with the ringing”?
Here at angli-EAR Hearing, we want to assure you: you don’t have to accept that.
Hearing loss and tinnitus are incredibly common issues, affecting millions of people. While there may not be a cure for every type of hearing loss, there are most definitely solutions available to improve your quality of life.
Why You Shouldn’t Settle
Ignoring hearing loss or tinnitus can have a significant impact on your daily life. It can lead to:
Social isolation: Difficulty following conversations can make it hard to connect with loved ones and participate in social activities.
Mental health issues: Frustration, anxiety, and even depression can arise from untreated hearing loss and tinnitus.
Safety concerns: Difficulty hearing warning sounds or alarms can pose a risk.
Disrupted sleep: Tinnitus can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep, further impacting your overall well-being.
Concentration challenges: Difficulty hearing conversations and environmental sound, or the constant ringing or other sounds associated with tinnitus can make it hard to focus on tasks and absorb information.
Understanding Hearing Loss and Tinnitus
There are two main types of hearing loss:
Sensorineural hearing loss: This is the most common type, and it results from damage to the inner ear. This damage can be caused by ageing, noise exposure, genetics, and certain medications.
Conductive hearing loss: This type of hearing loss occurs when there is a blockage or problem in the outer or middle ear that prevents sound waves from reaching the inner ear. Common reasons for conductive hearing loss include blockage of your ear canal, a hole in your ear drum, problems with three small bones in your ear, or fluid in the space between your ear drum and cochlea
Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease itself. It’s the perception of sound when no external sound is present. It can manifest as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or even a clicking sound. Tinnitus can accompany hearing loss, but it can also occur on its own.
