Michimich.com - CCMC Hearing Care On the Importance of Hearing Everyday Sounds

Trending...

ALMA, Mich. - Michimich -- Nearly 48 million Americans have some form of hearing loss. It becomes more common with age, yet many people don't seek treatment. Mid-Michigan's CCMC Hearing Care treats hearing loss in people of all ages. Restoring hearing loss, when possible, gives clients back important clues in their day to day activities.

Everyday sounds are important for supporting social, emotional, and physical health. In Michigan, seasons are punctuated with sounds: the first birds of spring, the whack of a bat hitting a ball in summer, and even the sounds of road construction, for example. Everyday sounds help people navigate, socialize, and orient themselves to time and place. Those who miss the sounds of life around them due to hearing loss can miss out on precious memories, important social clues, and even sounds that warn of danger, like a car horn.
