Hearing Loss Affects Family & Friends Too

Should the test diagnose you with a hearing loss or tinnitus, your licensed hearing specialist can tell you whether it can be treated with a hearing instrument, and if so, which type of hearing instrument that suits you best. We know that hearing loss affects family and friends too. While the hearing-impaired person in your life misses out on many things, you may also feel irritation, frustration or sometimes even anger because you can’t communicate with them.

This section contains information and suggestions on how you can tackle the problem together with your family or friends.
