Do I Need a Hearing Aid?
"If you think you might need a hearing aid, the first step is to get your hearing tested. There are, however, some early warning signs and behavior changes that may be related to hearing loss. Keep an eye out for these.

​

Do you:

• Complain that people are mumbling or speaking too softly

• Frequently ask people to repeat what they’ve said, especially in noisy situations

• Prefer the television or radio louder than others

• Have difficulty understanding on the telephone

• Don’t understand all the dialogue at the movies or during live theater productions

• Have difficulty understanding at your house of worship or other public gatherings

• Find yourself more impatient, irritable, frustrated, or withdrawn than before

• Have trouble understanding people when you can’t see their faces

• Strain to hear conversations, especially in group settings

If you’re experiencing any of the above, give us a call, we will perform a hearing test and then talk to you about the results. With our expertise we will help find the best hearing aid for your needs.

Benefits
A hearing aid isn’t like a pair of glasses; it doesn’t “correct your hearing back to normal.” Rather, it will help you understand speech in background noise, pick up pitches and frequencies you may have lost, and will help you locate the source of sounds. A huge benefit of wearing a hearing aid is that you’ll be less fatigued because you won’t be straining to listen. You’ll be able to participate more fully in your every day life.

As for which hearing aid to choose, this depends on your personal situation. Do your research and make sure you’re able to try it out before committing.

And be thankful that no matter what you end up with, it won’t be an animal horn!" Hearinglikeme
