HAWKESBURY, ON/CNW Telbec/ - Mr. Hockey has decided
to have his hearing assessed for the holidays at a Helix Hearing
Care Center in Windsor and encourages all other Canadians to
visit a Lifestyle Hearing Network Clinic to do the same. "Our
hearing is too important to put on the back burner," said the
hall of famer, "especially this time of the year."
Gradual hearing loss associated with aging happens so slowly and
steadily, those who suffer from it tend not to notice it
immediately, but instead try to adapt to their limited hearing.
In fact, the average delay for a person who develops hearing
loss to seek services is 7-10 years. The hearing impaired often
ignore the increased problems they have hearing, particularly in
noisy situations because they think it's a normal aspect of
their aging, or they don't want to confront the stigma
associated with hearing loss.
"This holiday season, make sure you can hear your family's
conversations and stop pretending at the dinner table," said Mr.
Howe. Howe emphasizes that "during this special time of the
year, it is important that you can easily interact with your
loved ones."
