Most of us have experienced mental fatigue after listening to the same thing for an extended period of time. Just think about the last time you had a day full of back-to-back Zoom meetings! However, people with hearing loss often experience this fatigue earlier and more frequently. This can make both work and socializing difficult.<\/p>\n
Hearing loss happens<\/a> when hair cells in the inner ear are damaged. These cells are responsible for translating sounds into electrical signals which then travel along the auditory nerve to the brain.<\/p>\n When you have hearing loss, your brain has to work harder to process sound, leading to more fatigue. In places where groups of people are talking all at once or where there is a lot of background noise, you may feel even more worn out trying to listen.<\/p>\n If you notice yourself struggling to follow conversations or feeling exhausted after dinner with friends at Blue Corn Harvest Bar and Grill<\/a>, it may be an early sign of hearing loss.<\/p>\n The good news is that by treating your hearing loss with hearing aids<\/a>, you can help reduce mental fatigue.<\/p>\nHearing Aids Can Help Fight Fatigue<\/h2>\n
