"I was a psychotherapist, and I had to give up my practice, because I couldn't provide to my patients the needed hearing that is very important.

I'm lucky to be part of (work with) this organization (HearingLife)."

Study shows hearing aids may improve quality of life

Hearing loss affects your life in different ways. As it often develops gradually over time, it is hard to know when it's time to seek treatment for hearing loss.

People wait an average of 7 years before seeking help. Once they are treated and experience the positive impact hearing aids have on their life, they often regret waiting so long.

"It's very upsetting, to someone who's already upset, when you keep being asked to repeat yourself over and over again.

It (hearing better) does make a difference. All those little things... they're not so little until you start missing them."
