You’ve watched the videos on TikTok. Babies hearing the voice of their mother for the first time after getting a hearing aid. In some videos, the baby is uncertain initially. They fight when the doctor tries to put the device in their ear. They could cry before they smile with joy. They’re overwhelmed with a host of emotions. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But in the end, with restored hearing, the world abruptly opens up for them. These videos can even cause tears of joy for those watching them.
But anybody can have this life-changing moment.
If you’re feeling anxious about using a hearing aid, you’re not alone. You don’t have to be a child to feel a little careful about this new experience.
Let’s investigate how individuals of all ages might cry tears of joy when they use their hearing aid.
Music to your ears
Perhaps you didn’t even know. It progressed so gradually. You stopped listening to music. You’re just not that into it nowadays. It even annoys you sometimes. Turning the volume up makes it even worse.
It’s not simply volume that is effected by hearing loss. It impacts how you hear different tones and notes.
Music is made of notes of sound that mix together and travel as waves that are then picked up by your ears. If you can’t hear the wonderful complexity of music, it’s just not the same.
When you use your hearing aid, all of a sudden you can hear those once-missing tones. Music once more comes alive! It was once a wonderful pleasure in your life and now you have it back.
The laughter of a child
Do you recall the sound of a child laughing? You may have forgotten this beautiful sound experience if you have chosen not to use your hearing aids. Rejuvenate your ability to hear and rediscover these enchanting moments with your grandchildren.
Relationships repaired
Neglected hearing loss can put a significant strain on relationships. It annoys people and causes misunderstandings. It can often result in more arguing. And the person with hearing loss will often feel like a burden causing them to seclude themselves.
While others are talking and enjoying each other’s company, the person with hearing loss will feel disconnected and will frequently isolate themselves.
Have you abandoned hobbies because they’re not as fun?
Your relationships with your kids, friends, and your significant other will have new life breathed into them when you get your hearing back.
Regain your ability to speak with each other. Converse long into the night. Get back to doing the things you enjoy and being with people you love.
It’s time to consider hearing aids if you’re missing these things in your life.
Feeling safer in your home
Do you feel troubled about what you can’t hear? Would you hear the voice of a hurt loved one calling you from another room? Would you hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm? Would you miss the phone ringing when a significant call was coming in?
When you stroll through the neighborhood, are you positive that you’ll hear approaching traffic, pedestrian signals, or a bicycle bell?
When we are in places where we should feel very safe, hearing loss can make us feel quite anxious. 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
Much like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you may not appreciate what you’re missing. Hearing loss advances gradually in most instances. It’s possible that you’ve forgotten what hearing well is like.
You’ll be surprised when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll regret letting it go this long. Think you may have some degree of hearing loss? Call us today to schedule a hearing exam and see what you’ve been missing.
