Do I have Hearing Loss?
Managing hearing loss is an important step in managing mental health, and seniors with hearing loss are more susceptible to various types of mental disorders; however, people who have strong social support report higher rates of wellness and perseverance. If you aren’t feeling like yourself, it’s time to get in touch with someone who understands—our therapists are here to help.
How does therapy help with Hearing Loss?
Depending on the severity of your hearing loss, your therapist will determine the correct treatment plan. A therapist will support you through your negative feelings, pinpoint areas in your life that you may wish to change, help you set realistic goals, and give you tools to identify and prevent future bouts of anxiety and depression. Your therapist will custom-tailor your sessions to what you need at that moment.
