Hearing loss can have a significant impact on a person’s life. It can affect their ability to learn and obtain quality education, earn an income, make friends, communicate with family and socialize generally. Hearing loss can affect any age and any type of person. If left untreated, it can lead to social isolation and emotional problems such as frustration, suspicion, depression and paranoia.

Need for Hearing Tests
