When you struggle to hear, your brain must work harder to follow and stay engaged in conversations. You also just miss more of what is being said because you don\u2019t pick up on sounds you used to. This can affect your relationships in a variety of different ways, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Decrease in quality of conversations<\/strong>. If you are struggling to hear or your partner feels frustrated because they have to repeat themselves multiple times before you understand what they are saying, it can prevent you from having deep, meaningful conversations that are so important to a healthy relationship.<\/li><li><strong>Less time engaging in social interactions.<\/strong> Because hearing loss makes it hard to communicate, you may feel less inclined to go over to a friend\u2019s place for a barbeque or enjoy a date night with your partner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romaitaliancafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roma Caf\u00e9.<\/a><\/li><li><strong>Resentment can build in loved ones.<\/strong> Your partner or other loved ones may start to feel like they have to compensate for your hearing loss by translating or repeating information when you\u2019re out in social situations. Or, if you begin to isolate yourself from others, they might become more isolated as well, leading to feelings of sadness and frustration.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Research from the University of Nottingham looked at previous studies on the complaints made by people with hearing loss and those closest to them.
