Personal hearing solution for everyone
About 1.8 million Dutch people suffer from hearing loss. And more than half of them have not yet started looking for a solution. A shame, because hearing loss not only has a major impact on your social life, it also affects your health. The solution? A custom hearing aid.
Hearing loss has far-reaching consequences. For example, hearing less has a huge impact on your social life. In fact, research shows that older people with untreated hearing loss are almost a quarter less likely to participate in social activities. They stay at home because they can no longer follow conversations. This causes social isolation and sometimes even feelings of anxiety. Not only your social contacts can suffer from hearing loss, your brain also notices the consequences. Hearing loss can lead to impaired cognitive functioning. Another important point is the sense of insecurity and insecurity that hearing loss evokes. For example, unsafe situations can arise because you do not hear traffic properly, but ‘trying to hear’ also requires so much energy that you become fatigued and less alert.
Hearing aid improves quality of life
So a hearing aid not only means a lot for your hearing, but also does a lot more for your health. Nevertheless, most Dutch people have to cross a mental threshold before they make a purchase. On average, it takes up to seven years before someone takes action and goes to a hearing care professional with their hearing loss, according to recent research. This is often only when the hearing loss worsens enormously. That’s a shame, because of the people who do go for a good hearing solution, no less than 95 percent believe that wearing a hearing aid has significantly improved their quality of life. And if you’re on time, a hearing aid can help prevent further hearing loss.
