PersPectives With Dr. Beck O berlin College (2023) 1 reports that humans are essentially group-oriented social beings. We typically live in families, we participate in social media, small and large groups, teams at school, work, hobbies, worship and fellowship services, music, politics, professions, economic alliances, politics, and more. They report, "Our norms are shaped by our culture, itself an emergent property of group-living. " As such, social engagement is an important, dominant, and pivotal factor in our daily lives.During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, people were urged to stay home, to not visit, to not participate in groups, and to avoid social contact. Although these cautions and realities helped slow and attenuate the spread of COVID-19, social isolation, anxiety, and loneliness increased, with anticipated concomitant results.Osborne (2023) 2 reports that 34 years ago, in 1990, 27% of adults had three or fewer friends. That is not a lot! Unfortunately, in 2021, 49% reported having three or fewer friends. Likewise, in 2003, young people (ages 15-24 years) spent 2.5 hours per day with in-person friends. By 2020, it was less than 40 minutes per day.Social engagement impacts our quality of life and communication disorders present substantial barriers to social engagement. When hearing and listening disorders are suspected, diagnosed, and treated early, they can most often be successfully managed by hearing care professionals working in tandem with the patient.
