<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAccording to a 2009 British study, 44 percent of people with hearing loss<\/a> reported that the condition caused their relationships to suffer, and 34 percent reported that related communication problems caused their relationship\/marriage to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen you have hearing loss<\/a>, you may find yourself misunderstanding loved ones or constantly asking them to repeat themselves. Partners of people with hearing loss tend to find themselves taking on the bulk of social responsibility, like answering the door when the doorbell rings and making phone calls to schedule appointments. The hearing-impaired partner may withdraw socially, leaving their loved one to attend events alone. Over time, this can lead to feelings of resentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe resentment can go both ways, however; people with hearing loss who feel isolated and alone<\/a> may feel that their loved ones don\u2019t understand or can\u2019t sympathize with their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Hearing Aids Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hearing aids renew your ability to do everyday activities with ease, like watching television, making conversation, going out to dinner, talking on the phone and so much more. When partners feel like they are being heard again, it can renew a sense of romance in a relationship that may have suffered from years of broken communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have shown that use of hearing aids is linked to renewed confidence in one\u2019s ability to navigate the world, increased control over life events, improved communication and more social interactions \u2013 all of which can help you have happier, healthier relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
