Connecting Hearing Loss and Veteran Mental Health

As we thank Veterans for serving our country, let’s also open a space for an ongoing discussion around what they sacrifice. Veteran hardships range from apparent physical injury and loss to the unseen —lost time with family, hidden disability, and even struggles with mental health.
One common side effect of service that blends the physical and intangible is when Veterans feel isolation due to hearing loss. In our blog, we look at why so many Veterans are hard-of-hearing, the connection between hearing loss and Veteran mental health, and provide resources for our Veteran community.
