TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve probably watched. Babies hearing their mother’s voices for the first time after getting a hearing aid. In some of these videos, the baby is uncertain initially. When the doctor tries to put the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. Before they smile with delight, they might cry a bit. They’re overtaken with a range of emotions. They’re anxious about what to expect. But in the end, with revived hearing, the world suddenly opens up for them. These videos can even cause joyful tears for people watching them.
But anybody can have this life-altering moment.
You’re not alone if you’re feeling anxious about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling somewhat anxious about this process it doesn’t mean you’re a baby.
Let’s investigate how people of any age may cry tears of joy when they wear their hearing aid.
The sweet sound of music
You might not have even noticed it. It developed so slowly. You stopped listening to music. You’re just not that into it nowadays. At times, it is even aggravating. Turning the volume up makes it even worse.
It’s not simply volume that is effected by hearing loss. Sometimes, only specific notes of sound are impacted.
Music is made of notes of sound that mix together and travel as waves that are then picked up by your ears. Music just isn’t the same if you can’t hear the fantastic complexity of the notes.
Those notes that were once missing in music will be enjoyed once more when you get hearing aids. Music once more comes to life! It becomes a great joy in your life that you’ve lost.
The laughter of a child
Do you remember what a child’s laughing sounds like? You might have forgotten this beautiful sound experience if you have chosen not to wear your hearing aids. Rediscover these magical moments with your grandchildren by rejuvenating your hearing.
Restored relationships
Relationships can be substantially strained by neglected hearing loss. People get irritated. They often argue more. It can even cause an individual with hearing loss to seclude themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
They may avoid social clubs or dinner out because they feel secluded and disconnected while others have a conversation.
Hobbies less pleasurable so you’ve given many of them up?
The simple act of getting your hearing back will revive your relationships with a significant other, siblings, children, and friends.
Learn to speak with each other again. Engage in long conversations. Go back to doing the things you love and being with people you love.
It’s time to think about hearing aids if you’re missing these things in your life.
You feel more secure at home
Are you stressed that you may be missing significant safety sounds? If a loved one was hurt and calling out to you, would you be able to hear them? If the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke detector sounded, could you hear them? Could you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ring?
Do you stress that you won’t hear approaching traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a walk?
These “what if’s” can make us feel unsafe in places where we should feel totally safe. But you put yourself at ease and more completely enjoy life when you use hearing aids. This is called peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you might not even realize it
You might not even know what you’re missing, just like the babies who hear their mother’s voice for the first time. In most instances, hearing loss is a slow progressive process. You may simply forget the joy of things you no longer hear.
When you can suddenly hear again, you’ll be amazed. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think you may have some degree of hearing loss? Call us today to schedule a hearing test and find out what you’ve been missing.
