Many relationships have suffered because of the anger that occurs when there is general miscommunication between family members in a household where there there is someone with a hearing loss. Generally, it's not only the person with a hearing disability that feels isolated, but others around them who feel they are not being "heard" or paid attention to, especially when the hearing loss has been gradual. Many people opt not to choose hearing aids for fear of looking old, since hearing loss is usually associated with old age and that in turn equals ineffectiveness in our society. Family members then feel as if their hearing loss partner doesn't care about them enough to make changes to reduce their disability and make it easier to communicate.
