Many Plano couples blame their partners for \u201cselective hearing,\u201d especially when it comes time to take out the garbage or clean the bathroom. When the chore doesn\u2019t get done, an argument ensues. \u201cBut, honey,\u201d one person will invariably say. \u201cIt\u2019s not my fault. I didn\u2019t hear you!\u201d We\u2019re going to help you spot the signs and determine when your significant other is trying to avoid work\u2026and when they honestly might not have heard you!<\/p>\n

Hearing Loss Signs in Texas<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Seven out of ten people think their partner has selective hearing, according to the results of a recent study out of Britain. In other words, they \u201cchoose\u201d not to hear something their significant other has said\u2014often in relation to a chore or other request. Men are the worst offenders, tuning out their partner on average just over seven times a week (388 times a year, to be precise). Women do this about six times a week, or a total of 339 times a year.<\/p>\n

This can lead to hurt feelings and arguments. But they aren\u2019t ready to bust out the yellow pages (do people even still use those?) in search of a marriage counselor<\/a> just yet; many of the respondents are quick to admit their partner might not be ignoring them. Over half suspect that a hearing problem might be to blame, and 40 percent go so far as to say they \u201cknow with certainty\u201d that their partner is struggling to hear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are the risks of untreated hearing loss?<\/h3>\n

Hearing loss is a widespread concern in Texas and across the country. When untreated, it can result in physical, social and psychological health complications<\/a>; the list of negative effects includes loneliness, depression, dementia and an increased risk of falling. The signs of hearing loss are often subtle; it takes an average of seven years from its onset before the typical patient seeks treatment. When a hearing impairment isn\u2019t obvious, it\u2019s easy to think selective hearing is at play.<\/p>\n
