Issues associated with hearing loss can combine to create a higher risk for COVID-19. Communication challenges in healthcare settings and often lower levels of health literacy can increase the risk for medication and treatment errors. Loneliness, anxiety and depression from social isolation, a feeling often heightened in those with hearing loss, weaken the immune system, making them more susceptible. Attending to your hearing challenges now can be a step toward improved health and wellbeing. Hearing assessments and services are still available during this time, by appointment only, at your local Eyes and Ears Clinic.
