Communication is the key to a healthy relationship

Day-to-day communication among couples, whether about important matters or daily routine talks are the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. Hearing loss can cause those small but important interactions to be lost. When communication breaks down, frustration creeps in. That frustration can lead to resentment, which leads to further breakdown in communication and intimacy.

Hearing loss can cause a cascade of detrimental effects and negative emotions between partners. Among these:

• Frustration

• Loneliness, i.e. the hearing partners feel that they are missing out on companionship

• Curtailing of social activities, withdrawal from social interaction

• Decrease in intimate talk, joking with family

• Shared communication difficulties

• Decrease in shared activities such as watching TV

• Loss of companionship

• Decrease in communication

Treasure Your Ability to Communicate

Without a strong bridge of communication, both you and your partner may feel lonely, isolated, unsupported, frustrated and unheard. So instead of bottling up your emotions and frustrations, share them with one another. Reflect on your experience with hearing problems as a couple, listening to one another and acknowledging the difficulties.

Don’t underestimate relatively brief communication either. While intimate discussions are important in a relationship, so are little jokes and brief updates. The little things mean a lot in the long run and can help strengthen a couple’s connection

Exercise Compassion

Whether you or your loved one live with hearing loss, be compassionate towards your partner and acknowledge their frustrations.

Take a moment to think about how your health condition affects the people around you. It may feel as if you’re the only one struggling, but your struggle rubs off on everyone around you. And if you refuse to seek treatment, you are putting your relationships at risk.
