VR SPEECH AND HEARING CLINIC

You can make a difference

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect the person who has it. It also affects spouses, family members and friends.

Physically, the inability to hear warning sounds or the voices of dependents could potentially put lives in danger. Even emotionally, the impact can resonate throughout family and social circles — from frustration with repeating things over and over, to sadness at seeing a loved one isolate themselves from the people and activities they enjoy.

Convincing someone to seek help for hearing loss is not always easy, but it’s the right thing to do.

How you can help

Talk to your loved one about their hearing concerns

Gently remind them of their hearing loss every time you “translate” or repeat something for them

Encourage them to visit a hearing professional to get their hearing tested and their questions answered

Offer to schedule and attend a hearing consultation with them

Remind them they have nothing to lose and potentially so much to gain by seeing a hearing professional

How hearing loss affects loved ones

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect the person who has it. Friends and family are impacted, too:

Increased frustration

Loud TVs, constantly repeating yourself, or having to “translate” for your loved one can be frustrating.

Heightened concern and worry

Hearing loss increases the risk of falls, injuries and missed warning sounds — which increases everyone’s worry and stress.

Recurring miscommunication

When instructions or information get lost in translation, the chance for mistakes and misunderstandings grows.

Sadness

Watching a loved one gradually withdraw from the people and activities they love can be painful and sad.
