TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve most likely seen. Babies hearing the voice of their mother for the first time after getting a hearing aid. Sometimes, initially, the baby is reluctant. When the doctor tries to place the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. Before they smile with delight, they might cry a bit. A variety of emotions overtakes them. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But finally, their hearing is revived and the world abruptly opens up. The smiles and the laughter are enough to cause you to burst into tears of joy!
But anyone can have this life-altering moment.
You’re not by yourself if you’re feeling apprehensive about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling relatively apprehensive about this process it doesn’t indicate that 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 advanced so gradually. You stopped listening to music. It just doesn’t seem as enjoyable anymore. At times, it is even grating. And the higher the volume the more annoying it gets.
Hearing loss doesn’t just effect the volume you can hear. It affects how you hear different pitches and notes.
Music is composed of notes of sound that mix together and travel as waves that are then detected 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-silent notes. Music once again comes alive! It was once a wonderful pleasure in your life and now you have it back.
A child’s laughter
Do you recall what a child’s laughing sounds like? If you’ve been reluctant to use your hearing aid, you may have forgotten how amazing this experience can be. Rejuvenate your hearing and rediscover these magical moments with your grandchildren.
Relationships restored
Untreated hearing loss can put a significant strain on relationships. People get irritated. It can often lead to more arguing. And the individual with hearing loss will frequently feel like a burden causing them to seclude themselves.
They might stay away from social clubs or dinner out because they feel secluded and disconnected while others are chatting.
Have you quit hobbies because they’re not as enjoyable?
The simple act of getting your hearing back will revive your relationships with a significant other, siblings, children, 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’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? Would you hear the voice of a hurt loved one yelling to you from the other room? If the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke detector sounded, would you be able to hear them? Would you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ringing?
Do you worry that you won’t hear oncoming traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a stroll?
When we are in places where we should feel very secure, hearing loss can cause us to feel quite anxious. But you put yourself at ease and more thoroughly enjoy life when you get hearing aids. You’ll experience peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you might not even know about it
Much like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you may not know what you’re missing. In most situations, hearing loss is a slow progressive process. It’s possible that you have forgotten what hearing well is like.
When you can suddenly hear again, you’ll be astonished. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think you may have some degree of hearing loss? Find out just what you’ve been missing by calling us for a hearing exam.
