Effects of Hearing Loss
Certified Monterey Audiologist
Hearing loss can be absolutely devastating and affect your quality of life in many ways. The most obvious sign of hearing loss is having difficulty following conversations or listening to what people around you are saying. However, there are other effects of hearing loss that you might not even be aware of until you are affected.

At Central Coast Audiology, Inc., we have 25 years of experience seeing patients in Monterey, Salinas, and the surrounding areas. Our audiologist is committed to helping you learn about the type of hearing loss you have and providing a solution to improve your hearing, such as hearing aids.
What are the Effects of Hearing Loss?
There are many different ways your life can be impacted by hearing loss, some more apparent than others. The exact way you are affected may depend on both the degree of hearing loss you have suffered, as well as the type of hearing loss you have. Many of our patients tell us that the impact of hearing loss affects them both physically and emotionally, as communication and enjoyment of life is compromised when hearing suffers.
Hearing loss can cause the following effects:
- Dizziness and instability
- Poor balance
- Inability to communicate
- Feelings of isolation
- Inability to understand speech
Don't Let Hearing Hold You Back
Hearing loss can be both stable and progressive, which means it gets worse over time. Many patients do not even realize they are suffering from progressive hearing loss until it gets significantly worse. We understand just how difficult it can be to go through life not able to hear properly. The soon you visit a Monterey audiologist, the sooner your hearing can be assessed and quality of life improved. Prepare for giving us a call by looking at commonly asked questions, and then we will help you set up your appointment.
