7. Vision and Hearing May Change
Small print can become harder to read.
Conversations in noisy restaurants can become more difficult to follow.
These changes often happen gradually, which means people may not immediately realize how much their vision or hearing has changed.
Ignoring these problems can lead some people to withdraw from social situations.
That is why regular vision and hearing checks can be valuable.
Glasses, hearing aids, brighter lighting, or other appropriate aids aren’t signs of weakness. They can help people remain independent and connected.
