Did you know hearing health impacts your overall health and well being? Leaving hearing loss untreated is highly correlated to:

• Cognitive Disorders

• Falls

• Anxiety and depression

• Cardiovascular issues

• Diabetes

• Sleep apnea

Patients who treat their hearing loss have been shown to have higher quality of life and self-esteem than those who do not seek treatment.

When selecting a hearing aid, you should consider both your hearing loss needs and your personal preferences. The device should meet your needs in every area, including needs from additional conditions including tinnitus:

• The severity of your hearing loss

• The frequency configuration of your hearing loss

• Your hearing limitations

• Your activity level and lifestyle

Personal preferences will also steer you as you choose a hearing aid. Some factors to consider are:

• Cosmetic preferences

• Budgetary needs

• Financing options

• Features and functionality

• Compatibility with accessories

Hearing aids are available in a variety of sizes and styles, so finding one that appeals to your lifestyle needs and cosmetic preferences should be easy.
