TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve most likely seen. Babies hearing the voice of their mother for the first time after being fitted for a hearing aid. Sometimes, at first, the baby is reluctant. They struggle when the doctor attempts to place the device in their ear. Before they smile with joy, they might cry a bit. A variety of emotions overtakes them. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But in the end, with restored hearing, the world suddenly opens up for them. These videos can even cause joyful tears for people watching them.
But anybody can have this life-changing moment.
If you’re feeling apprehensive about using a hearing aid, you’re not by yourself. You don’t have to be a child to feel a bit careful about this new experience.
Let’s explore how individuals of any age may cry tears of joy when they use their hearing aid.
The sweet sound of music
Perhaps you didn’t even realize. It happened so gradually. You stopped listening to music. You’re just not that into it now. It even annoys you sometimes. And the higher the volume the more annoying it gets.
It isn’t simply volume that is effected by hearing loss. Sometimes, only specific tones of sound are impacted.
Music is made of notes of sound that unify and travel as waves that are then picked up by your ears. If you can’t hear the wonderful complexity of music, it’s just not the same.
Those notes that were once lost in music will be enjoyed once more when you use hearing aids. Music once again comes alive! It was once a wonderful pleasure in your life and now you’ve got it back.
The laughter of a child
Do you recall what a child’s laughing sounds like? You may have forgotten this wonderful sound experience if you have chosen not to wear your hearing aids. Rejuvenate your ability to hear and rediscover these enchanting moments with your grandkids.
Relationships restored
Untreated hearing loss can put a considerable strain on relationships. People get irritated. They tend to argue more. It can even cause an individual with hearing loss to separate themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
They might stay away from social clubs or dinner out because they feel alone and disconnected while others have a conversation.
Hobbies less satisfying so you’ve given many of them up?
The basic act of getting your hearing back will revive your relationships with a partner, brothers and sisters, children, and friends.
Restore your ability to speak with each other. Have long conversations. Do all of the things you enjoy with the people you love.
It’s time to consider hearing aids if you’re missing these things in your life.
Feeling safer in your home
Are you stressed that you may be missing significant safety sounds? Would you be able to hear the voice of a hurt loved one calling you from the other room? Would you hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke detector? Could you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ring?
When you stroll through the neighborhood, are you positive that you’ll hear approaching traffic, pedestrian signals, or a bicycle bell?
When we are in places where we should feel very safe, hearing loss can make us feel quite uneasy. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you use hearing aids. You’ll experience peace of mind.
It’s likely you don’t know how much you’re missing
You may not even be aware of what you’re missing, just like the babies who hear their mother’s voice for the first time. In most situations, hearing loss is a slow progressive process. It’s possible that you’ve forgotten what hearing well is like.
When you can suddenly hear again, you’ll be astonished. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think your hearing loss isn’t that advanced? Contact us today to schedule a hearing assessment and discover what you’ve been missing.
