Q: Why has my father become quiet? Mom suspects it's his hearing. Is there anything we can do? Dr. Helton: There sure is. Your dad is very fortunate to have people who love him enough to recognize that a problem exists. Recognition is the first step to treating hearing loss. The second is to get him tested by a doctor of audiology. That will determine the best course of action. The signs of hearing loss include emotional withdrawal, frustration, limitation of activities, reduced work productivity on the job or at home, and a general lack of interest and participation in everyday life. More importantly, if your dad needs amplification for his hearing difficulties, he will likely be pleasantly surprised by recent advancements in hearing technology.
