You’ve seen the videos on TikTok. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. In some of these videos, the baby is hesitant initially. When the doctor tries to put the hearing aid in their ears, they put up a fight. Before they smile with joy, they might cry a bit. They’re overwhelmed with a range of emotions. They are not sure what to expect. But finally, their hearing is restored and the world abruptly opens up. These videos can even cause tears of joy for people watching them.
But anyone can have this life-changing moment.
If you’re feeling apprehensive about using a hearing aid, you’re not by yourself. You don’t have to be a child to feel a bit careful about this new experience.
When individuals of any age experience hearing aids they might cry tears of joy, let’s explore why.
The sweet sound of music
Maybe you didn’t even know. It developed so slowly. You stopped listening to music. It just doesn’t seem as enjoyable as it once did. It even annoys you sometimes. And the higher the volume the more grating it gets.
It isn’t simply volume that is effected by hearing loss. In some cases, only certain tones of sound are impacted.
Music is composed of notes of sound that mix and travel as waves that are then detected by your ears. If you can’t hear the splendid complexity of music, it’s just not the same.
When you wear your hearing aid, all of a sudden you can hear those once-missing notes. Once more, music comes alive. It was once a wonderful pleasure in your life and now you have it back.
The laughter of a child
Do you remember what a child’s laughing sounds like? If you’ve been hesitant to use your hearing aid, you may have forgotten how beautiful this experience can be. Rejuvenate your ability to hear and rediscover these enchanting moments with your grandkids.
Relationships restored
Neglected hearing loss can place a considerable strain on relationships. It frustrates people and causes misunderstandings. They often argue more. And the person with hearing loss will often feel like a burden causing them to isolate themselves.
While others are chatting and enjoying one another’s company, the person with hearing loss will feel disconnected and will often isolate themselves.
Hobbies less enjoyable so you’ve given many of them up?
The basic act of getting your hearing back will breathe new life into your relationships with a significant other, siblings, kids, and friends.
Regain your ability to talk to each other. Converse long into the night. Go back to doing the things you enjoy and spending time with people you love.
If you miss this in your life, it’s time to reconsider that hearing aid.
You feel safer at home
Are you worried that you could be missing essential safety sounds? If a loved one was hurt and yelling out to you, would you be able to hear them? Would you hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm? Would you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ringing?
Do you worry that you won’t be able to hear approaching traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a walk?
These “what if’s” can cause us to feel insecure in places where we should feel perfectly comfortable. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you get hearing aids. This is known as peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you may not even realize it
Just like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you might not know what you’re missing. In most cases, hearing loss is a gradual progressive process. You may simply forget the joy of things you no longer hear.
When you can suddenly hear again, you’ll be astonished. You’ll wish you dealt with it sooner. Think you may have some level of hearing loss? Find out exactly what you’ve been missing by giving us a call for a hearing exam.
