TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve most likely watched. Babies hearing their mother’s voices for the first time after being fitted for a hearing aid. In some of these videos, the baby is hesitant initially. When the doctor attempts to place the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. They could cry before they smile with joy. A range of emotions overtakes them. They don’t know 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 occur for anybody.
You’re not alone if you’re feeling apprehensive about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling rather apprehensive about this process it doesn’t indicate that you’re a baby.
When individuals of any age experience hearing aids they might cry tears of joy, let’s explore why.
Music to your ears
Maybe you didn’t even know. It progressed so slowly. You quit listening to music. It just doesn’t seem as satisfying as it once did. It even annoys you at times. Turning the volume up makes it even worse.
It’s not just volume that is impacted by hearing loss. It impacts 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. If you can’t hear the wonderful complexity of music, it’s just not the same.
When you use your hearing aid, suddenly you can hear those once-silent tones. Once again, music comes to life. It was once a great pleasure in your life and now you have it back.
A child’s laughter
Do you recall the sound of a child laughing? You might have forgotten this beautiful sound experience if you’ve chosen not to use your hearing aids. Rediscover these magical moments with your grandkids by rejuvenating your hearing.
Repaired relationships
Relationships can be significantly strained by disregarded hearing loss. People get irritated. They tend to argue more. And the individual with hearing loss will frequently feel like a burden causing them to isolate themselves.
They might avoid social clubs or dinner out because they feel alone and disconnected while others are chatting.
Hobbies less pleasurable so you’ve given many of them up?
Your relationships with your children, friends, and your partner will be revived when you get your hearing back.
Restore your ability to speak with each other. Converse long into the night. Get back to doing the things you love and being with people you love.
If you’re missing this in your life, it’s time to reconsider that hearing aid.
Feeling more secure in your home
Are you worried that you could be missing important safety sounds? If a loved one was hurt and yelling out to you, would you be able to hear them? Would you be able to hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke detector? Would you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ringing?
Do you worry that you won’t be able to hear oncoming traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a walk?
These “what if’s” can make us feel unsafe in places where we should feel completely safe. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you get hearing aids. You’ll find peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you may not even realize it
Just like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you might not know what you’re missing. Hearing loss advances slowly in most situations. You may simply forget the joy of things you no longer hear.
You’ll be blown away when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll wish you addressed it sooner. Think you might have some degree of hearing loss? Call us today to schedule a hearing assessment and find out what you’ve been missing.
