Hearing loss: Why you should never leave it untreated
World Hearing Day on Wednesday 3 March is a chance to find out how we can protect our hearing, as well as prevent and treat hearing loss.
The ability to hear and communicate well plays a critical role in our wellbeing as naturally sociable creatures, which is why hearing loss should never be ignored.
However, many of us take our hearing for granted. This includes not taking enough preventative or corrective measures to protect and preserve our ability to hear.
The wider implications of hearing loss
“Hearing loss can have greater implications than you realise if left untreated,” said Barry Kaganson, CEO of Auria Senior Living, which develops and manages senior living communities in South Africa.
