10 Reasons Why Hearing Aids Are NOT Like Eyeglasses

Do your family, friends, and colleagues ever ask why you don’t hear better when wearing your hearing aids? It can feel discouraging, notably when you are trying very hard to hear and piece together what others are saying. Many who do not wear hearing aids, think that it’s just like wearing eyeglasses. When you wear them, your hearing is instantly restored to normal.    

Here are 10 reasons why hearing aids do not function like eyeglasses: 

  1. Some hearing aids will amplify all sounds, including the noises you do not want to hear. In order to stop that from happening you need to get hearing aids that are programmed to reduce background noise.
  2. There is still stigma around wearing hearing aids, whereas people tend to believe eyeglasses make you look smart. 
  3. Most people do not view them as fun fashion accessories, but some hearing aids are now available in fun colors and you can place accessories on them.
  4. They need batteries or a recharge in order to function.
  5. Hearing aid technology needs to be updated.
  6. They get plugged with earwax.
  7. They cannot restore your hearing back to “normal”.  Sounds will become louder, but they are not always clearer, which is why it’s sometimes difficult to comprehend speech.
  8. They may occasionally make loud feedback noises. In those instances it’s best to take them to your hearing aid provider to get them checked out.
  9. They cannot get wet, or they will not function properly. Dehumidifiers are used to help pull out the moisture. 
  10. Because they are so small, they can easily get lost and pets tend to chew on them.    

If you, or a loved one, are in need of hearing aids, please contact us at Pure Sound Hearing Aids for a free hearing test and consultation.

Please be aware that Pure Sound services will only be available by appointment and for essential visits at this time. Essential visits include all appointments that require new hearing aid fittings, repairs and re-fittings. If you need a hearing aid repair, we ask that you please wait in your car, while wearing your mask, and place your hearing aids in a clean zip lock bag. We will come to your car to get them. If you are having any issues with your hearing aids, or need supplies for your hearing aids, please call us before visiting one of our offices.
