It is considered the first disability with the greatest impact on the population’s quality of life index, rather than visual impairment, walking disability and 345 other diseases. This has led WHO to make it one of its five priorities for this century. Statistics in Europe point to an increase in the population’s longevity. This information gives us a positive scenario regarding our possible life estimate. However, the quality with which we have reached this stage of the natural aging process is something that will make all the difference in our daily lives.

Quite often, over the years some situations begin to emerge that indicate that our hearing ability has changed. The pleasure of socializing with peers, social life or certain activities that were enjoyed normally suddenly have a different weight. Noisy environments such as restaurants and cafes have become challenging.

Difficulties emerge in the ability to follow a conversation, creating an embarrassment. There are several challenging hearing situations that show the need for an expert’s help. Kate van Duijvenbode- Audiologist at Audiocare says: “Remember that we listen with the brain, as the ear is a peripheral organ that transforms the mechanical energy from the vibration of sound into electrical energy that will be interpreted by the brain.

The ear is only a doorway. If you wait too long to seek help, treatment may not be successful because the brain loses its ability to interpret when it has been without stimulation. You can enjoy the simple conversations with friends and family, and you can regain your quality of life. It is the perfect time as hearing technology is at its peak.
