1. Your Hearing and Your Income | Hearing Loss
As we age, we are susceptible to hearing loss
and our ability to see. Do you find yourself
holding documents away from and toward
your eyes in order to read the ‘fine print’?
Do you find yourself asking others to repeat
themselves, struggling to hear in meetings,
or worrying you might miss something your
boss says?
You may want to address your hearing as well as get those new
eyeglasses or contacts. A national survey by the Better Hearing
Institute finds that those who struggle with hearing loss tend to
earn $30,000 less than their peers (www.betterhearing.org). It is
estimated that the reduction in personal income due to hearing
loss may be as high as $176 billion annually in the U.S.
Hearing Loss And Your Productivity At Work
When you struggle to hear during meetings, the likelihood you
miss or misinterpret points made by others rises. Your
productivity level may decrease as you try to ensure you
understand instructions or tasks. Relationships with your
coworkers and your customers can be strained, especially if you
have not publicly acknowledged your hearing loss and associated
challenges.
They may not appreciate how they need to communicate
differently with you to ensure you understand what they are
saying or asking of you. Their perception of you is influenced by

2. your ability to communicate with them, which includes your
ability to understand and to fully participate in meetings,
discussions or client interactions.
As we work later in life and delay our retirement, it is important
that we are able to use the experience and wisdom we’ve gained
over the years. We need to be able to fully communicate with our
peers and our leadership. Hearing is a key part of our
communication skills.
We need to compete in the marketplace. To do so, we must
utilize hearing aids just as we wear eyeglasses. Personally, when
I need to wear hearing aids, they will be a fashion statement just
as my multiple pairs of eyeglasses are for me now. I know the
hearing aids will help me to be a successful and valued employee,
manager or business owner.
I encourage all of you to take care of your hearing as you care for
your eyes and the rest of your body. After all, your income may
very well depend on it!
