AKEY RELATIONSHIPIN HEARING YOUR WORLD
ByLaurie Scarrow , Au . D .
If you or someone you love has hearing challenges , seeking treatment can go a long way toward enhancing relationships , enjoying the special and everyday moments of life . But did you know ? One of the most important relationships in your journey to better hearing may be the one you build with your professional hearing care provider .
HERE ARE FIVE WAYS THIS KEY RELATIONSHIP GOES BEYOND JUST BUYING HEARING AIDS :
COMMUNICATION REHABILITATION Most hearing loss can be effectively managed with today ’ s cutting-edge hearing technology , but it ’ s only natural to need a little help adjusting to the increased breadth of sound in your life . Whether through counseling , communication retraining , support-group activities , or otherwise , your provider can help you make the most of your new world .
DEVICE ADJUSTMENTS It ’ s normal for your technology to need adjusting periodically . You may lose hearing over time because of aging or other factors . Annual evaluations — or even clean and checks — are agreat time to talk about any changes in your hearing or your listening environments , so your settings can be fine-tuned as necessary .
BEYOND-DIY CARE No matter how well you clean and maintain your devices , wax and debris build up inside the casing , and tiny components wear out . When you come in for clean and checks , your devices get a deep clean , and any worn-out components such as domes and tubing get replaced , so you never miss a moment of what ’ s most important .
HEARING PROTECTION Close to a quarter of U . S . adults might have hearing loss linked to excess noise , according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Orders , making it important to take steps to reduce the risk . Whether you jam in a band , handle loud machinery , or are otherwise exposed to dangerous noise levels , your hearing care specialist can recommend and customize ear protection for your individual needs .
TECH TRANSITIONS If your listening lifestyle changes enough , you might need to upgrade your technology . Your hearing health provider , is in a unique position to match the latest updates in hearing technology to your newer listening lifestyle . As your hearing — and hearing technology — continues to evolve , your provider will be there every step of the way .
After getting glasses , you keep going to the eye doctor — annual checkups ensure the new specs still fit your needs . Same with regular dental care — you ’ re not done with the dentist after fillings or braces . And so it is with hearing help : Your relationship with your local , licensed provider helps ensure your devices always meet your lifestyle and listening needs .
Has it been awhile since you ’ ve had your hearing checked ? Does listening seem more difficult than it used to be ? Hearing health and overall wellness go hand in hand . Schedule time with your local hearing care provider today to get the most of your hearing health .
