When you notice difficulties with hearing, it’s not just your hearing that you’ve lost. It’s also a loss of good communication. The family member with whom you communicate regularly needs to be a part of your journey to better hearing. That means bringing them along to your hearing health care appointments.  

Do You and Your Family Members Feel Frustrated when Trying to Communicate?

Hearing aids or assistive listening devices (ALDs) may be recommended if your hearing healthcare provider determines that you have hearing loss. Understanding how you usually communicate with your family and finding effective ways to communicate will benefit everyone. Inviting a family member to your appointments will help them get involved in the entire process, making your relationship easier to manage. 

The Complexities of Hearing Aids

Hearing aids can be complex, so having another family member at the appointment who can easily listen and follow instructions is always helpful. It can also help a non-hearing impaired person learn and be more aware of the intricate workings of hearing aids/hearing loss.  

Patients and Family Members can Learn About the Unique Problems that come with Their Hearing Loss

Self-assessments from the patient, and the way family members respond to them is an important step toward a journey to better hearing. 

Maybe the family member will recall moments when they noticed their loved one wasn’t totally engaged or responded awkwardly to a question.   

Does Having a Family Member at Appointments Make the Time Spent at the Office Longer?

This is not true.

Most of the appointments are quicker and easier because there is another person learning the information that’s being discussed.

Other Recommendations when Bringing a Family Member to Your Appointment

The patient’s well-being is of utmost importance. Being able to discuss how the patient and their loved one are feeling about their hearing loss and finding a solution to improve communication, can also improve their relationship. 

If you, or a loved one, are experiencing hearing loss please contact us at Pure Sound Hearing for a complimentary hearing test and consultation. ​
