Interested in Getting a New Hearing Aids? Here’s some Sage Advice.

Purchasing new hearing aids is a crucial decision that can make positive changes in your life. Your hearing health and overall body and mental health can have significant improvements. Take your time and seek guidance from a professional hearing instrument specialist who will discuss your hearing needs and concerns that you may have. 

Hearing Aids usage in Society

People of all ages wear hearing aids. Some are visible with bright colors, while others are more discreet and practically invisible. Technological advancements allow them to not only help with your hearing and brain health, but they also help you stay social with others on their own or with the help of Bluetooth®-connected devices, like your smartphone. 

Some people who need hearing aids, do not wear them for various reasons including:

  1. Not wanting to accept that they have hearing loss/the social stigma that is sometimes attached to disabilities
  2. Unaware that they even have trouble with hearing
  3. Unable to afford hearing aids

Early inaction can be devastating to your future hearing health. When the signs of hearing loss become more noticeable by yourself, your family, friends, co-workers, or others with whom you interact, it’s important to act as soon as possible. 

Common Misconceptions about Hearing Aids

‘They don’t help.’ While this may be true with the earliest models, hearing aid technology has advanced quickly - especially within the past few years. The earlier models were bulky, aesthetically unappealing, and didn’t improve people’s hearing. 

One of the most common complaints about them was loud feedback noises. These are the loud squeaking noises that hearing aids sometimes make when embracing another person. A simple fix to that would be to see a hearing instrument specialist who can fine-tune the hearing aids so that the feedback noises stop.   

Some have claimed that using a hearing aid can ruin their natural sense of hearing, by making them dependent on the devices. But once your hearing is gone, it does not come back. What hearing aids do is help to keep the hearing abilities that you still have, or slow down the hearing loss and early onset of dementia. 

Remember, they’re called hearing aids and not hearing restorers. Many people have found them very helpful for healthy brain function.   

Steps to Take towards Better Hearing

Hearing is a very important sense. Hearing loss can lead to anxiety, depression, lower-income, and personal safety issues. Here are some things you can do to avoid or better manage these issues.

  1. Visit your local hearing instrument specialist. At Pure Sound Hearing, our hearing aid providers will patiently work with you to discuss your concerns.
  2. If you notice any new instances of hearing loss, immediately contact us at Pure Sound Hearing for a free hearing test and consultation. Our providers will go over the results of your hearing test and treatment options. 

What should You know about before buying Hearing Aids?

Visit an experienced hearing aid instrument specialist. They will help you find the right solution that will benefit your hearing needs.

  • Ask them about your concerns regarding hearing problems.
  • Take a hearing test from your local hearing aid provider and ask them about the details of your results.
  • Look through various models that could help you with hearing and your lifestyle. Ask them to demonstrate how they work. 
  • Find out what services are included with your hearing aid purchase. 
  • Ask about insurance coverage, maintenance, repairs, replacement costs if you lose your hearing aid. 
  • Get the most out of your hearing aids by making sure that the device is programmed and fit for your specific needs. A poorly adjusted hearing aid is uncomfortable and useless.
  • Discuss your new hearing aids with friends, family, and co-workers. Talk about the best ways to communicate with you.       

Additional Accessories

There are so many accessories that can be paired with your hearing aids to make watching TV, making phone calls or talking to others easier for you. Downloadable apps (decibel meters, captioning, etc.) can also be used to help. Available accessories will depend on the hearing aid manufacturer, model, and price. The more specific you are about your listening needs, the more effective your provider will be in advising the best choices for you. 

Hearing aids feature artificial intelligence (AI), so they can adapt to different environments and block out distracting background noises to make your listening experience easier.   

Contact us at Pure Sound Hearing if you, or a loved one, would be interested in a complimentary hearing aid trial.
