Untreated Hearing Loss

People with untreated hearing loss oftentimes have an increase in negative psychosocial conditions, such as depression, anxiety and isolation, especially in the older generation. The quality of life for the hearing impaired individual is affected if left untreated.

Among people over the age of 50 suffering from hearing loss, the survey revealed that those who did not use hearing aids were more likely to report the following:

 

· Sadness and depression

· Worry and anxiety

· Paranoia

· Less social activity

· Emotional turmoil and insecurity
