Hearing Loss & Hearing Services
In simple terms, hearing Loss is the loss of sound travelling to the brain from the ear or hearing pathway, that is from the outer ear through to the brain.
Losing your hearing has far-reaching consequences, cutting you off from those around you and from your life as you have known it.
Do you notice that your hearing is deteriorating or if you think that more people are mumbling around you?
Do you find yourself saying “pardon?” again and again, have to turn up the television or radio more loudly?
Are tired of trying to keep up in conversations when you feel that you’re falling behind or are finding that you are withdrawing from activities you used to enjoy?
If this sounds like you, then you may well benefit from having a hearing aid fitted.
Much More than Simply the Loss of Sound
Hearing Loss can alter your life tremendously.
Even a partial hearing impairment can mean that you feel isolated from your family and friends,
start avoiding things that you have enjoyed doing previously or you can feel depressed and alone.
