Your may feel left out of conversation due to Untreated Hearing Loss

Your may feel left out of conversation* due to untreated hearing loss

As your hearing worsens, it becomes more challenging to follow everyday conversations. You may need to ask people to repeat themselves frequently, or you might sit closer to people so that you can read their lips or watch their facial expressions in order to understand conversations.

You may even nod and pretend to understand what is being said. Jokes aren't as funny if you miss the punchline.
