TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve probably seen. Babies, after they just get fitted for hearing aids, hearing their mother’s voice for the first time. Sometimes, initially, the baby is reluctant. They struggle when the doctor tries to put the device in their ear. They might cry before they smile with joy. They’re overwhelmed with a host of emotions. They’re anxious about what to expect. But in the end, with revived hearing, the world suddenly opens up for them. The smiles and the laughter are enough to cause you to burst into tears of joy!
But this life-changing moment could happen for anyone.
You’re not alone if you’re feeling anxious about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling relatively 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 discover why.
Music to your ears
Perhaps you didn’t even know. It developed so gradually. You quit listening to music. It just doesn’t seem as enjoyable anymore. It even aggravates you sometimes. Turning it up makes it even worse.
It isn’t simply volume that is effected by hearing loss. It affects how you hear different pitches and notes.
Every musician knows that the notes work together to make a single sound that resonates as waves move into your ears. If you can’t hear the magnificent complexity of music, it just isn’t the same.
Those tones that were once missing in music will be appreciated once again when you get hearing aids. Music once again comes alive! It becomes a great joy in your life that you’ve lost.
The laughter of a child
Do you recollect the sound of a child laughing? If you’ve been reluctant to wear your hearing aid, you may have forgotten how beautiful this experience can be. Rediscover these magical moments with your grandkids by rejuvenating your hearing.
Relationships repaired
Untreated hearing loss can put a considerable strain on relationships. It annoys people and causes misunderstandings. They often argue more. And the person with hearing loss will frequently feel like a burden causing them to isolate themselves.
While others are talking and enjoying each other’s company, the person with hearing loss will feel disconnected and will frequently separate themselves.
Hobbies less satisfying so you’ve given many of them up?
Your relationships with your kids, friends, and your significant other will have new life breathed into them when you get your hearing back.
Learn to talk to each other again. Talk long into the night. Do all of the things you enjoy with the people you love.
If you’re missing this in your life, it’s time to reassess that hearing aid.
You feel more secure at home
Do you feel troubled about what you can’t hear? Would you hear the voice of a hurt loved one yelling to you from another room? Would you hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm? Would you miss the ringing of the phone when a significant call was coming in?
Do you stress that you won’t hear oncoming traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a stroll?
These “what if’s” can cause us to feel unsafe in places where we should feel perfectly safe. But when you wear your hearing aid, you can be more confident, and enjoy life to its fullest. You’ll experience 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 may not realize 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 surprised when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think your hearing loss isn’t that bad? Call us today to schedule a hearing assessment and discover what you’ve been missing.
