  An 80-year-old man said getting his hearing checked has allowed him to volunteer for his community. Howard Bartlett from Cheltenham is encouraging people to get their hearing checked, as a new study suggests 35% of people in the south west never have.

The article from MSN discusses how a man named John, who had been struggling with mental health issues, experienced significant improvement after undergoing a hearing test. John had been feeling increasingly isolated and anxious, attributing these feelings to general stress and aging. However, upon the suggestion of his therapist, he got his hearing checked and discovered he had significant hearing loss. After being fitted with hearing aids, John's ability to engage in conversations and social interactions improved dramatically. This not only alleviated his feelings of isolation but also reduced his anxiety and depression, highlighting the often overlooked connection between hearing health and mental well-being. The story underscores the importance of addressing physical health issues like hearing loss as part of a holistic approach to mental health care.
