Ask the Expert: Why Should I Take Care of My Hearing Loss?

In this article, one of Amplifon’s resident hearing health care experts, Carrie Meyer, Au.D., points out 4 reasons you should not
wait to take care of your hearing loss.

Reason #1: Your hearing loss is probably worse than you think
Hearing often declines slowly, typically over a period of years. In many cases, this gradual deterioration allows people to adjust to their own hearing loss and not realize how bad it is. Family and friends of the hearing-impaired individual usually provide a good “barometer” of how significant the problem is.

Reason #2: Waiting may put your overall health at risk
While social isolation definitely has an impact on quality of life, the consequences of untreated hearing loss can be far more serious. Specifically, a number of studies have concluded that hearing loss correlates to an increased risk of life-altering health conditions.

Reason #3: You’re covered by US Family Health Plan
You are able to save thousands of dollars on the purchase of high quality hearing aids, as well as the cost of related services and hearing aid batteries through Amplifon’s partnership with
CHRISTUS Health US Family Health Plan.

Reason #4: You can have peace of mind about your decision
A reputable hearing health care provider will do everything possible to ensure your satisfaction. This should include fine-tuning the hearing aids to precisely meet your needs and preferences, as well
as addressing your questions and concerns. Another good indicator of a strong commitment to patient satisfaction is a trial period. (The Amplifon program includes a 60-day, risk-free trial period.)

The sooner you get help for your hearing loss, the sooner you can improve your quality of life while protecting your overall health.
