It’s more common than you think, but it has an easy fix.
If you have glasses or know someone who does, you might be familiar with the idea of misplacing them frequently, only to find them in the same room you were in or in a hard-to-notice spot. The same can happen with hearing aids. If you want to know how to stop losing hearing aids as much as possible, follow these smart tips.
Keep Them in Their Case
Hearing aids usually come with a special case just for them. It’s best to keep your hearing aids in this case to keep them together and protected from dirt and other dangers. Having to look for a hearing aid case rather than two small hearing aids is easier.
Label the Case
Better yet, you can label the case with your first and last name to help identify it even better. Labeling the case is especially useful if you and someone in your household have hearing aids from the same brand. If you use a glow-in-the-dark label, it will be easier to find your hearing aids at night!
Keep Hearing Aids in One Safe Place
Like anything else you own, it is a lot easier to find something if it has its own place. Stop losing your hearing aids once and for all by keeping them in the same location when you go to sleep. Keeping them at eye level, such as on a bookshelf or a dresser, can make them easier to spot and keep them out of reach of pets and small children. Although it isn’t too common, it’s possible for hearing aids to get into the wrong hands by accident.
Avoid Taking Them Out Too Often
It’s best to keep your hearing aids in as much as possible. When in public, avoid taking them out at all, as you will significantly increase the chance of losing them. Ensure from the start that your hearing aids fit well so that they won’t accidentally fall out.
Consider GPS Tracking
Some hearing aids have a GPS tracking capability. It’s possible to find your hearing aids with a tracker if you lose them. This feature depends on the model. If you are in the market for new hearing aids, would that be a feature you would choose?
