😰LISTENING FATIGUE😫
It’s no secret untreated hearing loss leads to communication difficulties. Individuals with hearing loss must allocate more cognitive resources to listening than individuals without hearing loss. The increase in cognitive load has been referred to an increase in listening effort, resulting in greater stress on the brain and auditory fatigue.
⁉️HOW TO REDUCE LISTENING FATIGUE⁉️
• Contact a registered audiologist to schedule a diagnostic audiological assessment.
• Use appropriately fit amplification, in conjunction with good communication strategies, to decrease listening effort.
• Be diligent wearing amplification during waking hours.
• Reduce background noise in your environment, or implement communication strategies to reduce the effects of background noise.
Visiting an audiologist is the first step, to understand your hearing health and learn more about options to help your specific concerns!
