YouTube has some videos you really should look at. After getting fitted with hearing aids, a 7-month-old baby hears his mother’s voice for the first time. His smile is enough to bring you tears of joy.
You can find lots of videos like this online. You can share that wonderful moment with the child, the parents, and their doctors.
In some videos, the baby is hesitant at first. They struggle when the doctor attempts to fit the device on their ear. They may cry before they smile with delight. A wide range of emotions overtakes them. They don’t know what to expect. But in the end, with revived hearing, the world immediately opens up for them.
This joy that they’re feeling can be a reality for anybody.
Are you feeling anxious about wearing a hearing aid? Many people feel like this too. You don’t need to be a child to be a little wary of this new experience.
Individuals of all ages can have the happiness and joy that hearing aids bring.
Music to Your Ears
You may not have even noticed. It developed so slowly. You quit listening to music. It seems like it used to be so much more satisfying. It was even grating in some cases. It got even worse when you cranked up the volume.
Hearing loss doesn’t just effect the volume you can hear. Some wavelengths of sound are lost while others are not impacted.
Music is, as every musician recognizes, a wonderful blend of sound frequencies that meld together to produce the sound that we hear as…., well, music. it just isn’t the same if you can’t hear the subtle complexity of the music.
But wait, now you put in your new hearing aids. Now, those tones which were once muted can be vibrantly heard. The beauty of music is back in your life. It becomes a wonderful pleasure in your life that you’d lost.
A Child’s Laughter
Do you remember the sound of a child’s laughter? If you’ve been hesitant to use your hearing aid, you might have forgotten how amazing this experience can be.
Restore your hearing with hearing aids and rediscover those wonderful moments with your grandchildren.
Where Did All The Birds go?
Remember all those birds in your yard? If you go to the park there will be hundreds. While some of their chirps are more pleasant than others, it’s something you might not acknowledge until they’re gone.
Except there not gone. These beautiful sounds of nature once greatly enhanced your life, but now you don’t hear them because of your hearing impairment.
When you wear your hearing aids, you once again delight in the merriment of our feathered friends.
Relationships Repaired
Relationships can be substantially strained by untreated hearing loss. It can cause a great deal of frustration. There’s misunderstanding causing more arguments. Sometimes, in order to not feel like a burden, people with hearing loss will go into seclusion.
They frequently feel alone and disconnected from other’s conversations causing them to avoid going out to dinner or other social events.
Have you given up hobbies because they’re not as satisfying?
The basic act of getting your hearing back will breathe new life into your relationships with loved ones, siblings, children, and friends.
Get accustomed to speaking with each other again. Have long talks. Return to spending time with the ones you love and taking part in activities you enjoy.
It’s time to think about hearing aids especially if you miss these things.
Feeling Safer in Your Home
Does what you can’t hear make you feel anxious? Would you hear the voice of an injured loved one yelling to you from the other room? Would you hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm? Would you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ring?
What about oncoming traffic when you stroll around the neighborhood, or a bicycle bell, or a pedestrian signal? Are you certain that you can hear these important signals?
There are places where we should feel completely safe but because of these “what ifs” we don’t.
But when you use your hearing aid, you can be more relaxed, and enjoy life to its fullest. You’ll be more at peace.
You Might Not Know What You’re Missing
In most instances, hearing loss progresses gradually. It’s possible that you don’t even remember how much you enjoyed things before your hearing began to decline.
When you suddenly hear them again, you’ll be amazed. You’ll wish you took care of it sooner. If you don’t believe your hearing loss is that severe, it’s time to get it checked. Call us to schedule a hearing test.
