A Bridge to Better Hearing >> Principal One: Accepting Your Hearing Loss
COMMON SIGNS OF HEARING LOSS
Turning up the radio and TV too loud
- Getting frustrated when trying to engage in conversation
- Interpreting words incorrectly because you no longer hear the consonant sounds
- Asking others to repeat what they have already said
- Guessing what is really going on in conversations
- Magnifying your confusion with facial expressions
If you keep hiding your condition, you are only making it more difficult on yourself
and others. Your communication problem will continue to get worse if left untreated.
