Life Style Comparison

The Right Treatment Plan to Suit Your Listening Lifestyle

As you reclaim your life and overcome hearing impairments, you’ll need to keep your lifestyle in mind. In fact, hearing is more about just hearing sounds; it’s about listening, which is very different. Hearing is the experience of sensing all the noises in an environment, whereas listening is a more conscious effort to focus on one sound amidst the cacophony of sounds in any given location.

Let’s look at some of the different listening lifestyles.
