Not
only will you suffer, forget the art of conversation, miss important
information, become out of touch with life around you, but your family
will also feel rotten at being unable to assist you at all times. They
will feel guilty that they cannot repeat every sentence to you,
sometimes it will be impossible due to various reasons. Even when
someone is helping you with repeating what others are saying, repeating
slowly and clearly, they will be unable to pass on any expressions or
emotions or nuances that the original speaker used. You will miss out
most of the humor, sarcasm, etc. This would result in a different
meaning than what the original speaker intended, resulting in
misunderstandings, unnecessary repetitions, and frustration for all.
Also,
in old age, often the only companion is television. You would need to
really turn up the volume to understand anything. You will bring the
whole house down with the loud TV volume, driving everyone mad.
Clearly
an undesirable proposition. So please take care of you hearing and if
already impaired, get good hearing aid even if you need to ask for
financial assistance from someone for it. Your family will be grateful
for it.
