TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve probably seen. Babies hearing their mother’s voices for the first time after getting a hearing aid. Sometimes, at first, the baby is resistant. They struggle when the doctor attempts to put the device in their ear. They may cry before they smile with joy. They’re overwhelmed with a range of emotions. They’re anxious about what to expect. But finally, their hearing is revived and the world suddenly opens up. The laughter and the smiles are enough to cause you to erupt into tears of joy!
But this life-changing event could happen for anybody.
You’re not by yourself if you’re feeling anxious about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling somewhat apprehensive about this process it doesn’t mean you’re a baby.
When people of any age experience hearing aids they may cry tears of joy, let’s explore why.
Music to your ears
You might not have even noticed it. It advanced so slowly. You don’t appreciate music like you once did. You’re just not that into it nowadays. It even aggravates you sometimes. Turning it up makes it even worse.
Hearing loss doesn’t just effect the volume of sound. 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. Music just isn’t the same if you are unable to hear the amazing complexity of the notes.
Those tones that were once lost in music will be appreciated once again when you get hearing aids. Once more, music comes to life. It becomes a wonderful joy in your life that was lost.
A child’s laughter
Do you recall the sound of a child laughing? If you’ve been hesitant to use your hearing aid, you might have forgotten how amazing this experience can be. Rediscover these captivating moments with your grandkids by rejuvenating your hearing.
Relationships restored
Untreated hearing loss can place a significant strain on relationships. It annoys people and causes misconceptions. They often argue more. And the individual with hearing loss will frequently feel like a burden causing them to seclude themselves.
They might stay away from social clubs or dinner out because they feel secluded and disconnected while others have a conversation.
Have you given up hobbies because they aren’t as fun?
Your relationships with your children, friends, and your partner will have new life breathed into them when you get your hearing back.
Restore your ability to talk to each other. Talk long into the night. Get back to doing the things you enjoy and being with people you love.
If you’re missing this in your life, it’s time to reconsider that hearing aid.
You feel more secure at home
Do you feel troubled about what you can’t hear? Would you be able to hear the voice of an injured 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?
When you stroll through the neighborhood, are you sure that you’ll hear oncoming traffic, pedestrian signals, or a bicycle bell?
When we are in places where we should feel very secure, hearing loss can cause us to feel quite uneasy. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you get hearing aids. This is known as peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you may not even realize it
Much like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you may not realize what you’re missing. Hearing loss progresses gradually 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 may have some level of hearing loss? Give us a call today to schedule a hearing assessment and find out what you’ve been missing.
