You’ve seen the videos on TikTok. Babies, after they just get fitted for hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. In some videos, the baby is uncertain at first. When the doctor tries to put the hearing aid in their ears, they put up a fight. They could cry before they smile with delight. They’re overwhelmed with a host of emotions. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But finally, their hearing is restored and the world abruptly opens up. The laughter and the smiles are enough to cause you to burst into tears of joy!
But this life-changing event could happen for anybody.
If you’re feeling anxious about using a hearing aid, you’re not by yourself. You don’t have to be a baby to feel a bit careful about this new experience.
When people of any age experience hearing aids they may cry tears of joy, let’s explore why.
Music to your ears
You may not have even noticed it. It advanced so slowly. You quit listening to music. You’re just not that into it nowadays. It even annoys you at times. Turning it up makes it even worse.
It’s not just volume that is impacted by hearing loss. It affects how you hear different tones and notes.
All musicians know that the notes flow together to make a single sound that resonates as waves move into your ears. Music is just not the same if you can’t hear the amazing complexity of the notes.
When you wear your hearing aid, suddenly you can hear those once-missing tones. Music once again comes alive! It becomes a great joy in your life that you’ve lost.
A child’s laughter
Do you recall the sound of a child laughing? If you’ve been hesitant to wear your hearing aid, you might have forgotten how beautiful this experience can be. Rediscover these captivating moments with your grandkids by restoring your hearing.
Relationships restored
Untreated hearing loss can place a considerable strain on relationships. It annoys people and causes misunderstandings. They tend to argue more. It can even cause an individual with hearing loss to isolate themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
They might stay away from social clubs or dinner out because they feel alone and disconnected while others have a conversation.
Hobbies less enjoyable so you’ve given many of them up?
The simple act of getting your hearing back will breathe new life into your relationships with a significant other, brothers and sisters, children, and friends.
Restore your ability to talk to each other. Converse long into the night. Get back to doing the things you love and spending time with people you love.
If you’re missing this in your life, it’s time to reconsider that hearing aid.
You feel safer at home
Are you concerned that you could be missing significant safety sounds? If a loved one was hurt and yelling out to you, would you be able to hear them? If the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke detector sounded, would you be able to hear them? Could you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ringing?
Do you worry that you won’t hear oncoming traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a walk?
These “what if’s” can cause us to feel insecure in places where we should feel perfectly confident. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you get hearing aids. You’ll find peace of mind.
It’s likely you don’t realize how much you’re missing
You may not even know what you’re missing, just like the babies who hear their mother’s voice for the first time. In most cases, hearing loss is a gradual progressive process. You may simply forget the pleasure of things you no longer hear.
You’ll be blown away when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll wish you dealt with it sooner. Think your hearing loss isn’t that advanced? Find out exactly what you’ve been missing by giving us a call for a hearing test.
