4 Reasons why Hearing Aids can help you feel younger

You are in the game

I have always said “a hearing loss is more noticeable than a hearing aid”. If you are asking people to repeat or speak louder or saying “huh” this is showing your age more than a hearing aid ever will! Hearing aids give you the confidence to hear it right the 1st time and to be able to respond quickly and pick up on environmental and social cues that you might otherwise miss. Plus, they keep you engaged and part of the conversation, so you don’t become isolated or withdrawn.

They can be invisible and discrete

Today’s devices are meant to disappear. There are devices that are completely invisible options such as Lyric and IIC (invisible-in-the-canal) but even the thin wire style devices are slimmer and sleeker than they have ever been.

They are a cool technology

Many devices are now rechargeable, and all offer some form of Bluetooth technology. Being able to stream for your phone, tv and use an app to control your hearing aids make other people envy the technology you have to improve hearing in noise.

They can support better overall health

Hearing aids support healthy cognitive function and reduce isolation that can influence depression. Some devices can track falls, balance, and your blood pressure. They can also help alleviate annoying tinnitus thereby reducing stress. Finally, they help to maintain hearing levels and may slow down the progression of unaided hearing loss.

There is no better time to do something about your hearing. We are seeing younger patients than we ever have because hearing is a sense that connects us and helps us enjoy the sounds of life. Music, nature, family and everything important in life depends on good hearing. Preserve and protect your hearing and come learn more from your Audiologists at Hearing Partners of South Florida.
