Here's why hearing screenings are important:
Routine Check-up:
Similar to eye exams and dental check-ups, hearing tests are a preventative measure to ensure ear health and identify potential issues early.
Early Detection:
Hearing loss often develops gradually, and individuals may not realize they have a problem until it's significantly progressed. Screenings help identify issues early.
Minimizing Cognitive Decline:
Untreated hearing loss can contribute to cognitive decline and dementia, according to the Hearing Wellness Centre, by potentially affecting how the brain processes sound.
Maintaining Social Connections:
Hearing loss can lead to social isolation, as individuals may find it difficult to participate in conversations and social activities.
Preventing Hearing Damage:
Identifying and addressing the cause of hearing loss can prevent further damage and potential long-term hearing problems.
Development:
In children, hearing loss can significantly affect speech and language development, as well as academic performance.
Overall Health and Wellbeing:
Hearing loss can impact various aspects of overall health and wellbeing, including mental health and quality of life.
