Well Hearing is Well Being

Why hearing health matters
When you hear well, you are well equipped to embrace the life you want.
Whether you are bonding with your loved ones or enjoying your favourite television show, your hearing plays a fundamental role on your overall well-being.
When voices become less clear
Hearing loss can creep up gradually. Some sounds remain audible, while others, like higher-pitched sounds, become more difficult to hear.
If you do not hear well, it’s hard to understand and talk to your loved ones and beyond. Hearing loss is also associated with a number of health issues:
Less social interaction and increased loneliness1
Less participation in activities with friends or events2
Increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia3
Increased risk of falls4
Well-Hearing is Well-Being
From time with loved ones, to your favorite TV shows and songs — whenever sound becomes less clear, important things are lost. This is true both immediately and in the long run. Your physical, cognitive and social-emotional well-being state can also be affected by a loss of hearing.7 At Phonak, we believe hearing well equates to well-being, and it is essential to living life to the fullest.
