TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve most likely seen. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing their mother’s voice for the first time. In some videos, the baby is uncertain at first. They struggle when the doctor attempts to place the device in their ear. Before they smile with joy, they may cry a bit. A variety of emotions overtakes them. They don’t know what to expect. But in the end, with revived hearing, the world suddenly opens up for them. The laughter and the smiles are enough to cause you to erupt into tears of joy!
But anybody can have this life-changing moment.
You’re not by yourself if you’re feeling anxious about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling relatively apprehensive about this process it doesn’t mean you’re a baby.
When individuals of any age experience hearing aids they might cry tears of joy, let’s discover why.
Music to your ears
You might not have even noticed it. It occurred so slowly. You quit listening to music. You’re just not that into it anymore. At times, it is even grating. And the louder it gets the more grating it becomes.
It isn’t just volume that is effected by hearing loss. Sometimes, only certain frequencies of sound are effected.
Music is made of notes of sound that unify and travel as waves that are then detected by your ears. Music just isn’t the same if you are unable to hear the amazing complexity of the notes.
Those notes that were once missing in music will be enjoyed once again when you use hearing aids. Music once again comes alive! It becomes a great pleasure in your life that was lost.
A child’s laughter
Do you recollect the sound of a child laughing? You might have forgotten this beautiful sound experience if you have chosen not to use your hearing aids. Restore your ability to hear and rediscover these enchanting moments with your grandchildren.
Relationships repaired
Untreated hearing loss can place a significant strain on relationships. People get aggravated. They often argue more. And the person with hearing loss will frequently feel like a burden causing them to isolate themselves.
They might avoid social clubs or dinner out because they feel alone and disconnected while others are chatting.
Have you given up hobbies because they’re not as fun?
The basic act of getting your hearing back will revive your relationships with a partner, siblings, kids, and friends.
Learn to talk to one another again. Talk long into the night. Go back to doing the things you love and being with people you love.
If you’re missing this in your life, it’s time to reconsider that hearing aid.
You feel safer at home
Do you feel troubled about what you can’t hear? 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 the ringing of the phone when a significant call was coming in?
When you stroll through the neighborhood, are you confident that you’ll hear approaching traffic, pedestrian signals, or a bicycle bell?
These “what if’s” can cause us to feel insecure in places where we should feel completely confident. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you get hearing aids. You’ll find peace of mind.
It’s likely you don’t realize how much you’re missing
You may not even be aware of 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 gradual progressive process. You might simply forget the pleasure of things you no longer hear.
You’ll be blown away when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll regret letting it go this long. Think you may have some level of hearing loss? Find out just what you’ve been missing by giving us a call for a hearing test.
