Benefits of Wearing a Hearing Aid
 According to a recent study, people with hearing loss who choose to hear better by using hearing aids say their decision made significant improvements in many areas of their lives. From closer relationships at home to greater independence in social settings, the study of over 2,000 adults with hearing loss clearly concludes that hearing aids improve lives.

The study, which included 2,090 close family members and friends of hearing-impaired respondents, also determined that adults aged 50 and older with untreated hearing loss are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and paranoia. They also are less likely to participate in organized social activities.
 Among respondents in the same study who did use hearing aids, the hearing aid users experienced these feelings 50% less often than non-users. Hearing aid users were also 50% less likely to experience long periods (more than a month) of anxiety and tension, as compared to seniors with untreated hearing loss. Claims that "people get angry with me for no reason" were half as likely to occur among hearing aid users.
