TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve probably seen. Babies, after they just get fitted for hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. In some videos, the baby is uncertain at first. When the doctor attempts to place the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. Before they smile with delight, they may cry a bit. They’re overwhelmed with a range of emotions. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But ultimately, with restored hearing, the world abruptly opens up for them. These videos can even cause tears of joy for those watching them.
But this life-changing event could occur for anyone.
If you’re feeling apprehensive about wearing a hearing aid, you’re not alone. You don’t have to be a baby to feel a bit wary of this new experience.
Let’s investigate how people of any age may cry tears of joy when they use their hearing aid.
Music to your ears
You may not have even recognized it. It developed so slowly. You quit listening to music. You’re just not that into it nowadays. It even annoys you sometimes. And the louder it gets the more annoying it gets.
It’s not simply volume that is effected by hearing loss. Sometimes, only specific notes of sound are effected.
All musicians know that the notes flow together to make a unified sound that resonates as waves move into your ears. Music is just not the same if you are unable to hear the amazing complexity of the notes.
Those tones that were once lost in music will be enjoyed once again when you get hearing aids. Music once more comes to life! It was once a great pleasure in your life and now you’ve got it back.
A child’s laughter
Do you recall the sound of a child laughing? You may have forgotten this wonderful sound experience if you’ve chosen not to wear your hearing aids. Rediscover these captivating moments with your grandkids by restoring your hearing.
Restored relationships
Neglected hearing loss can place a significant strain on relationships. People get frustrated. They often argue more. It can even cause an individual with hearing loss to seclude themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
While others are talking and enjoying one another’s company, the person with hearing loss will feel disconnected and will often separate themselves.
Hobbies less satisfying so you’ve given many of them up?
The basic act of getting your hearing back will breathe new life into your relationships with a significant other, siblings, children, and friends.
Learn to speak with one another again. Engage in long talks. Get back to doing the things you love and being with people you love.
It’s time to think about hearing aids if you’re missing these things in your life.
Feeling more secure in your home
Are you stressed that you may be missing essential safety sounds? If a loved one was injured and calling out to you, would you hear them? If the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke detector sounded, would you be able to hear them? Would you miss the ringing of the phone when an important call was coming in?
When you stroll through the neighborhood, are you positive that you’ll hear oncoming traffic, pedestrian signals, or a bicycle bell?
These “what if’s” can make us feel insecure in places where we should feel completely safe. But when you wear your hearing aid, you can be more confident, and enjoy life to its fullest. You’ll find peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you may not even know about it
Just like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you might not realize what you’re missing. In most situations, hearing loss is a slow progressive process. It’s possible that you’ve forgotten what hearing well is like.
When you can suddenly hear again, you’ll be amazed. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think you may have some degree of hearing loss? Find out exactly what you’ve been missing by calling us for a hearing exam.
