“Life hacks” for better hearing can be important for the hearing impaired, as well as the hearing world at large. Something that solves everyday problems in a simple, useful, and inspiring manner has great appeal to everyone. In life, there are important and unimportant sounds. Anyone can benefit from life hacks for better hearing. Here is a list:

  • Use a smartphone app to check your hearing - You can download SoundCheck to quickly screen your hearing.
  • A way to hear music or speech better - Studies show that the right ear is superior at processing speech and the left ear excels in processing musical sounds and tones. So, to hear speech better, turn your right ear toward the conversation. And, to hear music better, turn your left ear toward the song.
  • Get a good night’s rest - Use soft background sound to rest better. The sound of a fan or relaxing sounds can help you sleep and mask any noise outside your bedroom door.
  • Improve your listening skills - Play listening games to better your hearing-in-noise skills. Research suggests that training and challenging the auditory system to listen to speech in the presence of background noise can improve a person’s performance in such situations. HearCoach and ReadMyQuips are listening games.
  • How to have better hearing in restaurants - Get a table in a quiet spot; request a booth--a booth dampens surrounding noise; request a round table instead of a square one, so you can see everyone’s face and follow conversations easier; go to a restaurant when it is not busy, so it is automatically quieter; sit next to someone who mumbles or talks quietly, so you can hear him or her better; direct your best listening ear toward the conversations at hand; and sit with your back to a wall.
  • How to have better cell phone conversations - if you don’t wear hearing aids, use headphones that have a microphone. Or, use the speakerphone feature. Also, you can try using Skype or FaceTime to have video phone calls. According to research, a combination of visual and audio information lends itself to better speech understanding.
  • If you wear wireless hearing aids, get a streaming accessory--or, get hearing aids with direct streaming features.

Although these life hacks will help you hear better throughout life, it is good to see a hearing instrument specialist if you have trouble hearing. Please contact your hearing instrument specialist at Pure Sound Hearing Aids for more details on hearing technologies.
