1. Psychology of Hearing Loss 101
Denial: refusing to believe that you
have a hearing loss. You may say things
like: “If people would only speak
clearly,” “My wife mumbles,” and “I
don’t want to hear everything.”
Co-dependency: not owning up to your
communication problems; other family
members or friends will “help” you by
doing one or all of the following: repeating or interpreting missed
or unclear messages, speaking on the telephone for you, and/or
answering questions for you.
Social Phobia: a fear of being in social situations where you may
be embarrassed. Hearing loss can cause a social phobia due to
embarrassment from answering questions incorrectly or
inappropriately because you have misheard the conversation.
Isolation: avoiding certain listening situations in which you have
a difficult time hearing and understanding, even if you have
enjoyed the activity or event in the past. Often a result of social
phobia, isolation can lead to depression.

2. Procrastination: to postpone or delay having your hearing
tested or being fit with hearing aids. You are guilty of this if you
have said any of the following: “I’m not old enough,” “My hearing
isn’t that bad,” “Bob’s hearing aids are in his dresser drawer,” or
“I can’t afford them.” “My hearing loss isn’t as bad as Tom’s”, I’ll
wait until my car is paid off.”
