Enhance your joy this festive season with a hearing assessment

Article content

‘Tis the season for festive get-togethers but if you’re having difficulty following conversations and are upset that people seem to be mumbling, you may be suffering from hearing loss. You might even be turning down invitations to celebrate with family and friends because you’re embarrassed that you can’t hear well.  

Each of those all-too-common scenarios can lead to a variety of consequences. These can include difficulty communicating, social isolation and a general decline in your overall well-being.

Hearing health can play a fundamental role in enjoying life to the fullest. This festive season, investing in your hearing health can be the best gift for you and your loved ones.  

Hearing loss generally happens very gradually so you may not notice how much you’re missing. Often, the people around you pick up on the first signs, which may include asking others to repeat themselves and turning the television or radio up louder than others appreciate.  

Discreet hearing aids

Fortunately, a simple hearing assessment can determine if you’re suffering from hearing loss. If you are, your HearingLife care professional will help you choose from a wide variety of hearing aids, all of which are discreet and many of which are Bluetooth compatible and rechargeable. 

“Hearing aids are minicomputers that you wear on your ears,” says Katie Koebel, audiologist and senior manager of audiology at HearingLife Canada. She is master of clinical science and member of the College of Audiologist and Speech Language Pathologists of Ontario. “They take the sounds around you and amplify them based on your unique hearing needs to make speech and everyday sounds clearer and easier to understand. Many hearing aids also have features that can ease tinnitus, making the ringing less distracting so you can focus on everyday sounds.”  

Interestingly, your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint, which underscores the value of working with a specialized hearing care centre like HearingLife. Its personalized approach includes asking the right questions and offering solutions tailored to each person’s unique needs. With a large spectrum of hearing aid types and brands, HearingLife can help you find the optimal solution for your needs.
