Hearing loss makes it harder to communicate and follow conversations. This can affect your workplace relationships, as well as those with current and potential customers and clients. It can also affect your confidence in work meetings and Zoom calls and cause you to feel increased anxiety about missing important information or having an embarrassing misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing aids<\/a> make it easier to understand what others are saying in any environment, including any video or phone meetings. This lets you feel confident in your communication ability and put all your focus on your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demonstrates Your Commitment and Motivation  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Employers appreciate any steps you take to improve your workplace performance. Getting a hearing test and treating your hearing loss with hearing aids or other assistive listening devices shows that you care about doing what it takes to keep your job performance high and that you know how to be decisive when it comes to problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Improve Your Ability to Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have hearing loss, your brain has to work harder to process speech and sounds. Spending the day trying to listen to your colleagues and make sure you don\u2019t miss any important information can leave you feeling drained and mentally fatigued. This can make it harder to focus and do your job well. Hearing aids help to ease that burden on your brain and make it easier to focus on the tasks at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improves Your Earning Potential<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studies have found that hearing loss can hurt your earning potential. One study published in 2015 found that \u201cControlling for education, age, sex, and race, individuals with hearing loss had 1.58 times higher odds of low income<\/a> and 1.98 times higher odds of being unemployed or underemployed compared to normal-hearing individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since treating your hearing loss reduces the impact the condition can have on your job performance, it can also improve your earning potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
