The Hearing Aid Advice Centre helps people
like yourself or your loved ones to regain their hearing.
We understand how people's self-confidence and social
life can be affected by a loss of hearing.
If you're having hearing difficulties
Believe it or not you have actually taken the first important step towards
helping yourself regain your hearing. Most people wait for up to
7 years before trying to solve their hearing problems, during which
time their family and friends have become steadily more concerned
about them.
If you're having hearing difficulties then please read
this.
If your loved one or friend is having hearing difficulties
Watching someone you care about steadily lose their hearing over time can
be one of the most difficult things in life. Whether it's
a close family member or friend their typical thought process
will be:
- I hear fine, it's just that people mumble; they don't
speak clearly any more.
- It's the noisy places where I have trouble hearing...
I'll just avoid those places and I'll be OK.
- My hearing will heal in time.
- I hear what i need to hear. I'll just ask them to repeat.
- I can cope with it. I'll just concentrate a little harder.
- It's not really bad enough that I need hearing aids
yet.
- Wearing hearing aids does not fit into my self image.
- If my hearing gets any worse, then I'll get help.
Spend a few moments to look at the various options available to help
them regain their hearing by reading
