For the purpose of the assignment I wear the ear plugs in two situations the first, in my family gathering for an hour while the second, in the restaurant with my cousins for 20 minutes.
My first feeling while I wore the ear plugs is the quiet which i like. After couple of minute i complained that people don't talk clearly and I often need to have things repeated to me. While the facial expression helped me understand what the person is saying.
The most difficult thing for me is follow conversations in noisy place which make me talk very loudly but, I didn't aware of that until my cousin alerted me.
I felt I'm blessed to have great hearing and how it's sad to feel you can't communicate easily like a normal person.

if untreated it may cause risk of falls and injuries, headaches, reduce activity, spend more energy to understand what they hear ,vertigo and stress. Also, increased functional limitation and subsequent disability.

Several studies also point to a significant correlation between hearing loss and loss of cognitive functions. Most of these studies show such a correlation without being able to show whether the hearing loss caused the reduction in cognitive performance or if both the hearing loss and the cognitive decline are parts of a common, general age-related degeneration.
Loss of hearing represents more than just difficulty hearing sounds. It can lead to social isolation and depression. A new study suggests that hearing loss may also be linked to loss of memory and thinking skills.
A study found that hearing loss could also be a risk factor for dementia. Scientists who conducted the study said years of sensory loss leaves people more susceptible to dementia. Additionally, the social isolation common among the hard of hearing is another known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders.
