Did you know? 💭 According to Center for Hearing and Communication, hearing loss affects 48 million people in the United States. 👂
Gradual hearing loss is a common part of aging and can often be accompanied by negative psychological, emotional, and social effects. While it can be frustrating to communicate with a loved one who has hearing loss, it’s even more frustrating for them. It’s important to show your support by being patient, sympathetic, and understanding as well as make a conscious effort to enunciate and speak at a normal speed.
