Hearing aids can significantly improve the user’s communication and can return the hearing impaired to a full and active lifestyle. With hearing aids most people can hear their family and friends more easily and enjoy being in group conversations without asking people to repeat themselves all the time. They can watch TV at a normal volume, hear the warning signals and hear more easily in phone conversations.

Hearing aids improves the quality of life in most cases and reduces the negative impact of hearing loss. On the other hand, the quality of life suffers when hearing impairment is left untreated.

An American study found that people with hearing problems who did not wear hearing aids were more likely to report sadness and depression, anxiety, paranoia, emotional problems, insecurity and reduced social activities. This study also found that people who started wearing hearing aids reported significant improvements in their quality of life.
