What are the most common causes of hearing loss?
Hearing loss is a natural consequences of getting older. Our hearing ability worsens from our 30s or 40s and onwards and when we reach our 80s, more than half of us suffer from significant hearing loss. Age related hearing loss is called Presbyacusis.
Another common reason for hearing loss is exposure to noise. We live in a noisy world. Noise may come from our work or from voluntary exposure to noise, such as noisy motors or loud music at rock concerts, night clubs, discos and from stereos - with or without the use of headphones. Also the increasing use of portable CD players and MP3 players are causing hearing damages.
What are the main consequences?
Untreated hearing loss may lead to numerous social and psychological problems. Some hearing-impaired people also experience physical problems because of their hearing loss.
Reactions differ from person to person, but most hearing-impaired people suffer some social, psychological and physical problems as a result of their hearing loss.
Surveys indicate that hearing-impaired people benefit socially and psychologically and improve their quality of life when their hearing loss is treated with proper hearing aids. One of the surveys was carried out by the National Council of Ageing, (NCOA), in the USA.
