A Beginner's Guide to Hearing Aids
Considering Hearing Aids? If you’ve been struggling to follow conversations, turning up the TV more than usual, or feeling exhausted after social gatherings, it may be more than just background noise. Hearing loss often develops gradually, making it easy to overlook in the early stages. Over time, however, it can affect your confidence, relationships, and overall hearing health.
Stress & Hearing Loss
Did you know hearing loss has the potential to be a side effect of stress? This year, stress management seems particularly important. Finding healthy ways to deal with the challenges we face can go a long way in providing a healthy, positive life.
A Link Between Sleep & Hearing Loss?
Although studies have linked obstructive sleep apnea to hearing loss, the link is not entirely known between lack of sleep and hearing loss. People with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) have been known to have sleep disturbances. Lack of sleep can increase tinnitus as well as decreased tolerance to it. In other words, stress is a known stressor (no pun intended) of tinnitus.
What To Expect When Your Hearing Declines
Hearing loss may strike at any stage of life and can cause obstacles that lead to disengaging from one’s own life. During the early stages, it’s normal to feel anxiety at the prospect of adjusting to lifestyle changes and societal stigma. Educating oneself on what to expect is an important step in combating this overwhelm.
