Why you may be unaware of the problem:
It is typical for individuals with a mild to moderate loss to be unaware of their problem, even though family & friends are quite aware of it.Hearing loss is invisible and almost always painless. There are no physical warning signs, except in some cases there may be ringing in the ear(s), but the real reason hearing loss sneaks up on you is that the change is so gradual. Most hearing losses develop over a period of 25 - 30 years, by age 50 or 60, there can be enough deterioration to interfere with conversation.
Hearing loss can prevent the quality of life you've hoped for. It can restrict your ability to interact with others, prevent you from hearing important information, cause misunderstandings, heighten stress, cause unnecessary fatigue, and filter out the subtle sounds of nature.
Hearing Aids
There is no part of the body which varies so much as the human ear. Each ear is as a rule quite distinctive and differs from all others, therefore most modern hearing aids are custom made to the shape of the individuals' ear and the technology used is selected and programmed to suit the hearing loss. Hearing aids come in a large variety of technologies and sizes. Most are small & discreet. Many are virtually invisible in use.90% 0f our hearing aids are manufactured in Dublin which means a quicker / better service & much lower costs.
When comparing eyes with ears, consider this: Blindness cuts you off from objects, Deafness cuts you off from people.
