This condition can cause isolation, stress and fatigue, just to name a few.<\/p>\n As for tinnitus, it is a sound, such as a hissing or buzzing, “heard” only by the affected person. Tinnitus may have more pronounced effect on people who already suffer from hearing loss. This condition can lead to difficulties with sleeping and concentration, and even anxiety.<\/p>\n We often neglect our hearing, yet this sense plays a vital role in our quality of life. Everyone can be affected by hearing loss: whether it is workers exposed to continuous loud noises or young people who listen to loud music. It is thus necessary to focus on prevention and on taking actions as soon as the first signs of hearing loss appear. Hearing screening is an excellent first step in determining whether you need to do a complete assessment of your hearing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The purpose of the JNA Qu\u00e9bec is to recognize the importance of hearing and its influence on the overall health of the population. For all the details: www.journee-audition.ca<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Groupe Forget’s mission is to help people with hearing loss rediscover the pleasure of hearing. With more than 80 clinics, Groupe Forget is the largest hearing aid network in Quebec for more than 30 years. In partnership with the Polyclinique de l’Oreille, it is simple and easy to coordinate your appointments with several hearing health professionals.\u00a0<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Groupe Forget, Audioprosthetists, official partner of the Journ\u00e9e Nationale de l\u2019audition du Qu\u00e9bec\u00a0: working together for hearing health!
