Are you worried that someone in your family has a
hearing loss and isn't doing anything about it?
It can be frustrating when you have to repeat
yourself, shout, or have the TV at high volume so that they can
hear it.
You may also be sad to see someone
you care about becoming isolated and missing out on many aspects of
life. Or worried that a loved one may actually be placed in danger
if they can't hear a smoke alarm in the event of a fire or an
approaching car when crossing the road.
People don't like to admit that they are getting older - often
because they don't feel old. They may be 'in denial' about their
hearing problem or they know they have a problem but they are
putting off doing anything about it.
And they may not realise how different today's digital
hearing aids are from the devices their parents and
grandparents used to wear.
The help and encouragement of friends and family can be
invaluable in helping someone with a hearing loss to come to terms
with and overcome it so that they can lead a fulfilling life.
You can help you help them - perhaps by going through
the online hearing questionnaire with
them.
If you are well-informed, maybe they'll take notice. We have
detailed information on this site to help you and your loved one
make an informed decision about how to resolve their hearing
problem. Find out for yourself about hearing loss and
how Amplifon's experts can
