By Cory Soal R.H.A.D. . . . Lend Me Your Ears We care about your hearing! Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210 Georgetown (905) 873-6642 A diminished social life is one of the most diff icult aspects of age related hearing loss. Many people avoid drawing attention to their hearing loss by having fewer social contracts when it becomes difficult understanding what is being said. The result is an altered and lonely existence that family and friends may mistake for dementia. Learning new strategies to cope with hearing loss could go a long way to restoring confidence and improving communication. The Hearing Clinic recommends the following: Inform people of the hearing loss so they may modify their speech; eliminate background noise; watch the speaker carefully and sharpen natural l ip-reading abil i t ies; ask the speaker to repeat what was said if necessary, and above all else; have your hearing thoroughly tested and properly fit with one of todays modern hearing instruments. Contact The Hearing Clinic if you or someone you know needs assistance. The Georgetown by ALEX TRENTON DENTURIST Creating confident smiles since 1982. Alexander Trenton, DD, F.C.A.D.
