I was chatting with one of our friends last night at our April meeting. He’s noticed significant hearing loss after his treatment and has recently been prescribed free NHS hearing aids. He was very enthusiastic about the difference they made. As a wearer of hearing aids myself, I can relate very well to what he said.
This subject hasn’t come up before, so I thought it might help to link to a Macmillan article on the topic.
Hearing loss can lead on to social isolation, depression and even contribute to the onset of dementia, so if you feel you may have hearing loss or tinnitus, please don’t ignore it! Speak to your CNS, doctor or an audiologist and get the ball rolling.
