Tips and news to support your hearing health.
“At first, my hearing difficulties were more of a nuisance than a serious problem,” Susan recalls. “In groups, I would always be straining to hear what people were saying and would mishear names, but I put this down to others not speaking clearly.”
You may not realise it at first, but those little hearing difficulties can gradually interfere with your everyday life.
Susan dismissed these moments as mere annoyances rather than signs of a developing issue. Then one day at a ballet performance, something changed dramatically.
Surrounded by the enchanting atmosphere and the peak notes of the celesta, Susan suddenly experienced a moment of profound silence on the music’s high notes: “That was when I realised I had a hearing problem.”
Even mild hearing challenges should be taken seriously, especially when they start to affect your enjoyment of life.
