Understanding the ties between hearing loss<\/a> and daily fatigue and exhaustion can help manage further health outcomes, so it\u2019s important to understand how hearing-loss fatigue works. Some forms of hearing loss, such as presbycusis, make it harder to hear high-pitched sounds first. In conversation, this means it could be harder for the listener to hear consonant sounds or sounds like \u201cth.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In loud environments, the listener has to use increased listening effort to fill in the blanks of the sounds they can\u2019t hear. This requires heightened concentration, resulting in fatigue<\/a>. Participants of the study with hearing loss reported fatigue for more than half the days in a two-week period. For every 10 decibels of hearing loss, the participants were more likely to report fatigue nearly every day.<\/p>\n In most cases, once hearing loss has progressed, it cannot be reversed. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to protect your hearing<\/a>. The studies did not prove that proper hearing care can reduce fatigue once you have hearing loss, so follow some important tips to protect your hearing over time.<\/p>\n Ways to protect hearing:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are ways to manage hearing loss symptoms that will still improve overall quality of life. Hearing aids and assistive listening devices are options to manage hearing loss.
