Living with hearing loss can be a challenge and have a big impact on a person’s life. Whether it is gradual or sudden, it is a loss of an important information gathering sense.

Changes in hearing can make people feel withdrawn and isolated as communication becomes more difficult. Social life and work can become challenging. Some people feel unsafe and left out of everyday life as they no longer hear sounds such as traffic, voices and music.
