loss uses

There are different types of hearing loss, from mild to completely deaf, thus not all people with hearing loss will communicate in the same way. The way people with hearing loss communicate depends on various factors such as the degree of hearing loss, whether one is wearing a hearing aid or cochlear implant, the age of the person suffering from hearing loss and the amount of rehabilitation received. Therefore, it is insensitive to assume the same for everyone with hearing loss.

Myth 6: Turning up the volume of the device's speaker will help with my hearing loss

If you cannot hear something on your devices clearly even with the volume at an all-time high, increasing the volume will not make a difference! In fact, it is also not a sustainable practice and may actually worsen hearing loss.
