Hearing loss, whether great or small, can have a profound affect on your life. Below are quotes regarding hearing loss and the affects.”Forgive me when you see me draw back, when I would have gladly mingled with you. My misfortune is doubly painful to me. I must live almost alone, like someone who has been banished. If I approach near to people a hot terror seizes upon me. I fear being exposed to the danger that my condition might be noticed. What a humiliation when someone standing next to me hears a flute or a shepherd singing and I hear nothing. Such incidences drove me to despair, a little more of that and I would have ended my life. It was only my art that held me back.”
~ Ludwig Von Beethoven

More than Cancer, Heart Disease, Kidney Disease, etc. Only 20% of the people with hearing loss have sought help. The problem is that people do not know that they have a loss and how serious it is. The longer it is left untreated the less effective the treatment can be. We check our eyes and teeth routinely, Yet there are still people who have never had a hearing test.
