Think about what a significant role our hearing plays in our customs, both in how we experience them and how we remember them—everything from the sizzle of roast turkey to the cheerful tone of music to the merry buzz of conversation and laughter…and beyond. We can’t help but notice that all the “little” things we hear actually bring our traditions to life in a big way.
Read MoreLet’s take a look at the study behind this discovery, how the interesting results came to be, and the reasoning behind them.
Read More“I was born without the ability to hear and received my first hearing aids around the age of two. For as long as I can remember, they’ve been part of my world, yet the misconceptions that surround hearing aids have followed me throughout my life.”
Read More“I was born with severe-to-profound hearing loss. That could’ve been the end of the story—me, stuck on the sidelines, missing punchlines, instructions, and even the sounds of nature that so many take for granted. But thanks to technology, persistence, and a little grit, that’s not how my story played out.”
Read MoreIt’s undeniable that swimming and boating are two of the biggest delights of summer. Just remember that any water contact with your hearing aids—even if they are water-resistant—could put a damper on performance.
Read MoreThere are the important sounds we can’t imagine life without—everything from lapping waves at our feet to catch-up conversations with our loved ones. Obviously, we want to continue hearing these sounds for the sake of preserving our connections with others and our overall quality of life.
Read MoreIf you’ve been experiencing hearing loss and wondering who you should see to treat it, you’re definitely not alone. After all, just as there are several different providers to consider for vision issues (optometrist, ophthalmologist, or optician) there are various hearing care professionals to choose from when it comes to hearing care.
Read MoreWelcome to Men’s Health Month (already in progress)—a time when we raise awareness of preventable health issues in men. And what better time for men everywhere to examine their hearing health and get any hearing issues squared away?
Read MoreListening fatigue (also called “listener’s fatigue” or “ear fatigue”) occurs when we strain to hear and interpret sound, and then experience mental, physical, and/or emotional exhaustion as a result.
Read MoreRegardless of whether you’re currently enjoying these benefits through wearing hearing aids or are thinking about getting your hearing tested once and for all—Better Hearing Month is the month for YOU.
Read MoreWhile hearing aids are available with user controls that allow you to adjust sound and volume, switch programs and more in the moment, you may prefer the simplicity of hearing aids that can adjust on their own.
Read MoreWhether you are planning your tropical escape from winter or have a business trip approaching, your hearing aids are still one of your best companions for getting the most out of your travels. Any time, any place.
Read MoreWith the “sickness season” upon us, there’s no better time to explore the association between hearing loss and COVID-19, an ongoing health issue in the U.S.
Read MoreThe latest hearing technology is not only designed to help wearers hear and communicate better (even when background noise is present) and increase awareness of their listening environment—but also assist with functional independence, specifically.
Read MoreLeaving hearing loss untreated indeed has the potential to impact our physical well-being. But monitoring our hearing health and getting help for our hearing loss sooner rather than later can make a tremendous difference.
Read MoreSelf-care involves not only looking after your physical and mental well-being, but also making them a priority.
Read MoreBy getting help with our hearing loss sooner rather than later, we can keep our brains active, engaged, and processing sound—whether it’s our conversation with a dinner companion, an instruction from our community education teacher, or the hum of our refrigerator.
Read MoreWhether it’s asking for what we need from the grocer, sharing a recipe idea over the phone, resolving a disagreement with our spouse over watching “the big game” during dinner, or intently listening to a Bluey recap from our tiniest guest: improving our communication through hearing aids helps us continue to engage with others, express ourselves, and function in daily life.
Read MoreWhether we think we may have hearing loss (of any type) or even if we’re unsure, we should tell our physician. They can refer us to a licensed hearing care professional who will have the equipment and expertise to evaluate our hearing and counsel us through treatment options, if needed.
