Perhaps the neat thing about this entry is that it applies to situations before you purchase a hearing aid or something that happens afterwards. Namely, that is don’t try to bluff or pretend that you heard something that you really didn’t understand. It may work at first but eventually it will catch up to you. Procrastinating about a problem only makes things harder. Whether or not you wear a hearing aid, ask someone to repeat something they have said if you did not understand it.
Many people just do not understand hearing loss and think that if they can hear everything fine, then you can too. That is an obvious error in judgment. They just can't relate to being hard of hearing or hearing impaired. If all of a sudden you start missing parts of a conversation, check with your audiologist or physician to check out the problem. It's not a disgrace to ask for help. And it's no fun sitting in a room not being able to understand what is said.
Four words "I Can't Hear You" can make a real difference in your life.
