• When not using a hearing aid, your auditory sensory perception begins to decrease because of the inability to hear others and communicate back.
  
• Untreated hearing loss may cause a decrease in salary and wages because hearing is such a vital necessity when in the workforce.

• The improvement, in general, of a person's quality of life.
  
• An increased participation in social activities and organizations.
