We live in a unique time
Over the past few years, global instructions for people to remain socially distant put limitations on hearing aid wearers. Furthermore, those who suffer from untreated hearing loss have experienced even more of a problem from these social instructions. According to studies, a close link between hearing loss, social isolation, and reduced quality-of-life within normal social situations. During COVID times, where social distancing became the norm, anyone who suffers from hearing loss is prone to feel more isolated than ever.
