Filtering by Tag: hearing aids
Everyday we see more people, young and old, with hearing devices in their ears. All you need is an interest in joining in the conversation. Embrace the sounds of the world we live in and enjoy life to the fullest. No more hearing laughter among your friends and having to pretend you heard the joke! There is nothing to wait for - tomorrow is today.
Remember when you first got your hearing aids and you had to be very cautious about not losing them due to inexperience with insertion? Life has come full circle! With the frequent use of face masks, extra caution must be taken when putting on and taking off a mask. The likelihood of jarring hearing aids out of place and then losing them is high, especially for masks worn looped over the ears. Pictured above, the blue mask loops behind your ears creating opportunity for dislodging the aids. Rather, find a mask with an elastic behind your head to keep it secure. Please keep this tip in mind when you are out and about. Stay healthy and protect your hearing aid investment!
Does hearing aid use make my hearing worse over time?
This is a question asked by new hearing aid candidates. Hearing aid use actually improves listening skills and in fact enhances the ability of the brain to interpret speech over time. Unaided hearing thresholds are not affected by wearing properly fit hearing aids.
There are ways to help! High pitch tinnitus has traditionally been the most difficult to help. Now there are products with high frequency boost that can reach and mask the most troublesome highest frequency "ringing" sounds. Hearing aids allow you to hear comfortably while masking the annoying sounds produced internally. Relax and enjoy the sounds of life!
From The Hearing Review (January 12, 2017)
Senators Dean Heller (R-NV) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) have reintroduced the bipartisan Hearing Aid Tax Credit (S. 48) which, if enacted, would provide a $500 credit or $1,000 credit (if two aids are necessary) to people of all ages who need a hearing aid to address their hearing loss. For more information about the bill, visit: www.hearingaidtaxcredit.org. At this website you can also send a letter to your senators urging them to support this legislation.
