Hearing rehabilitation for adults
Hearing is perhaps the most valuable sense since it connects us to our social and natural world, playing catalytic role in communication and perception of our environmentThe ability to perceive sounds allows for mutual communication, socialization, and safety, as we can recognize and interpret important sound information from the environment. In this context, protecting our hearing becomes vital, since healthy hearing contributes to a high quality of life and the developmental course of each person.
I can't hear well - What does it mean?
When someone says “I can’t hear well,” it can have many interpretations. It can be a simple way of describing difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments or even the loss of the ability to hear low or high tones.
“Hard of hearing” can be the first sign of hearing loss or even an advanced stage of it. The term “hard of hearing” refers to the condition where a person has difficulty hearing and interpreting sounds, including speech, in their environment. “I can't hear well." and "hearing loss” are two statements that are directly linked to each other and highlight a hearing problem that can have consequences for a person's daily life and quality of life.
