New Year, New Hearing Aids
It’s not uncommon for people to make New Year’s resolutions, and the resolutions typically are about improving a person’s life and well-being. If you suffer from hearing loss, make it your resolution to do something about it: Get hearing aids to start hearing sounds more loudly and clearly.
Here are some things that hearing aids do:
- Enable you to participate more fully in activities and conversations
- Help you hear certain pitches, like high-pitched consonant sounds (s, t, f and sh), better
- Make sound louder
- Make speech easier to understand in most situations
By contrast, hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, transform distorted sound into clear sound, let you hear only what you’d like to hear or deliver the ability to hear speech perfectly when competing sounds are present.
Two hearing aids are better than just one. Think of it this way: If you closed one eye, your depth perception would be distorted. It’s important to see with both eyes just as it’s important to hear with both ears. Understanding can be affected if you’re only hearing with one ear, as hearing occurs in your brain, not your ears. Hearing sound from both ears helps the brain understand sounds.
