Understanding hearing loss
Hearing loss changes our everyday life
Even simple conversations can be very tiring for people with hearing loss. Following a discussion with several participants requires intense effort. Active communication is difficult, which can quickly lead to isolation.
Hearing loss can have many causes. But in most cases, hearing loss can be addressed successfully.
The ear is a very complex sensory organ
It consists of three sections: Outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
