10 Sounds You’ll Miss During the Holidays if You Experience Hearing Loss

The holidays are a time to enjoy the little things from beautiful decorations and tasty treats to the sound of carols and joyful conversations with loved ones. Missing out on any of these experiences can be dispiriting. Many Americans who have hearing loss, but do not wear hearing aids are missing out on the sounds that make the holidays cheerful. 

Here are some of the sounds that you’ll miss out on during the holidays:

1. Imagine never hearing your favorite carols or carolers singing. The upbeat cheerful songs always lift your mood during a cold winter season. 
2. The rustling sounds of presents and bags full of gifts for family and friends.
3. Hearing conversations between friends and family. These are the rare occasions when we talk to family and friends, so don’t miss out or you may wait another year until you chat with one another.
4. The timer that goes off when baking cookies or making a special meal.
5. A whistling teapot, or milk that boils over when you make a steaming cup of cocoa. 
6. The crackling fire roaring in your fireplace.
7. The sound that a wrapped gift makes after you shake it. 
8. Children and other family members laughing as they play in the snow or open gifts.
9. Movie dialogue from your favorite Christmas movie.
10. The sound of a cork popping from a bottle of champagne before midnight when ringing in the New Year, and hearing everyone sing “Auld Lang Syne”.
