I've been thinking about how resilience applies to hearing loss this weekend. Building resilience with my hearing loss was pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Not an easy task. It takes a certain amount of determination to get it right. If I tried it one way and it didn't work out, I'll allow myself a bit of a pity party. When my emotions have settle down a bit, I move forward with, "What can I do to make it better next time?" Then each time I get it right, I build a little more confidence, step by step. These days nothing much puts me into a panic because I know my options and I had the practice. I'll run into a new issue now and then, I chalk it up to a learning experience and know that next time I'll do better. Do you have resilience with hearing loss? #Resilience #HearingLossAwareness #HardOfHearing #LearningExperience #TrialAndError #ComfortZone

People don't always detect my hearing loss. I'm good at using lipreading strategies to make it through conversations in small groups and during one on one conversations. If it's a busy hearing day at work, I get super tired because it takes a lot of mental work to put it all together. If I overdo my socialization, I end up with Listening Fatigue. Then, it's apparent that I have hearing loss because I can't keep up and lag behind on conversation. Hearing breaks are very much needed during busy hearing/understanding times to recharge my battery. #HearingBreaks #HearingLoss #HearingImpaired #HardOfHearing #ListeningFatigue #SocialBattery #HearingLossLIVE

In her powerful TED Talk, Nashlea Brogan highlights a crucial issue often overlooked in relationship dynamics: hearing loss. We frequently assume that communication problems in relationships are simply due to what’s being said, but the truth is that undiagnosed and untreated hearing loss might be the silent contributor behind many of these challenges. Brogan emphasizes the importance of shifting our focus from just the words being spoken to acknowledging the impact of hearing loss on our ability to engage fully with those around us. It's not just about hearing—it's about cognitive health, social connectedness, emotional well-being, and even intimacy. 💡 Key Takeaways: -Communication struggles in relationships often stem from untreated hearing loss. Regular hearing tests are essential, especially as we age, to maintain cognitive health and emotional connections. -Early intervention can preserve social relationships and improve overall well-being. -It's time to prioritize hearing health as part of our overall wellness. Together, we can break the stigma and encourage proactive care for better, stronger relationships. #HearingHealth #Relationships #Communication #CognitiveWellness #EarlyIntervention #TEDTalk #EmotionalWellBeing

Communication is a two-way street, if you suffer from hearing loss here are some tips for making life easier when communicating with others: • If you need to, ask the speaker to go more slowly and clearly. • Don’t be embarrassed – tell the person you’re speaking to that you have difficulty hearing. • Make sure you aren’t standing too far away to see the speaker clearly: gestures and expressions can help with understanding. • Ask people to catch your attention before they launch into a speech. • If you hear better with one ear than the other, position yourself to benefit from your good side. • Try and stay relaxed – if you start feeling stressed about hearing, it will become more difficult. • Nobody hears perfectly all the time, so don’t feel bad about asking the other person to repeat what they said, or say it another way.

The loss of hearing can impact the emotional well-being of a person during any point of this year, but during the holiday season, these feelings only get worse and often make them feel left out even more. Some tips to enhance holiday experiences with hearing loss are: 1. Find other ways to call home - this should be easier for people with hearing loss since social distancing has become a habit of many 2. Be honest - telling your friends and family about your hearing can make the time together a little easier 3. Choose your position carefully - look for quiet corners for conversations away from music and loud noises 4. Take a break - don't hesitate to give your mind and ears a rest #happyholidays #familygathering #hearingloss #hearingaidssacramento #thehearingsolution

🧠Many people know that hearing loss can lead to issues with memory, attention, and cognition. Something that is less well known is that hearing loss can lead to issues with balance and increased risk of falls, too! 👂Poor hearing can lead to issues with spatial awareness, which impacts your overall balance. Additionally, poor hearing increases the cognitive resources that your brain is putting towards listening, which means your brain doesn’t have as many cognitive resources remaining to put towards other things, like keeping your balance and not falling. ⚖️If you’re having concerns with your balance, it is important to check your hearing, too, because hearing loss may be contributing to your balance issues.

I help businesses in hospitality, tourism and care achieve increased occupancy and compliance by attracting and retaining loyal customers and employees. Using my experiences of hearing loss and unique audit led approach.
1moThis resonates so well with many people experiencing a change of hearing. I would add though having the confidence to ask for changes that includes us is also an important part of the resilience journey. Communication is two way.
