Hearing aids are worth it if you have hearing loss!
Hearing aids are not as daunting as you think. They are not as expensive or troublesome as you suppose. We are not just saying that because we’re audiologists. The right hearing aid can make a world of difference for those with hearing loss. If you aren’t sure if you want to invest in them, here is why you’ll be glad you got hearing aids.
What Hearing Aids Could Give You
Connection to the World
When you get the right hearing aid model, prescription, and fitting, the world can become a different place. Although hearing aids cannot truly replace the sound of normal hearing, they do an excellent job of reconnecting people with the world in a way that only sound and speech can. You can hear and respond to conversations normally again, and you can hear the faint sounds of life like birds singing. You can also be quick to respond to alarms, like your smoke detector or oven timer.
Physical Wellbeing
Our sense of hearing affects other parts of our body, namely our brains. Our brains can stay sharper when we hear better. Otherwise, they are constantly straining to hear and process what they once did, using up more energy than they should. An inability to exercise the sense of hearing can also cause the brain to atrophy. There is some evidence that hearing loss is linked to dementia. Of course, just because you have hearing loss does not mean that you will automatically have dementia, but the risk could be greater.
Misconceptions about Hearing Aids
You might feel that hearing aids are too expensive or ugly to deal with. They are not covered by Medicare, but they come with a lot more expertise and care than over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. You can learn a lot more about the cost of hearing aids and their affordability on our blog.
If you are concerned about how hearing aids look, you can find options that are practically invisible today. You don’t have to worry about wearing clunky ones anymore! Of course, what matters most is that you get the model and fit that’s best for your hearing needs.
