TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve probably seen. Babies, after they just get fitted for hearing aids, hearing their mother’s voice for the first time. Sometimes, at first, the baby is reluctant. When the doctor attempts to put the hearing aid in their ears, they put up a fight. They may cry before they smile with delight. They’re overtaken with a host of emotions. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But finally, their hearing is restored and the world abruptly opens up. These videos can even cause tears of joy for people watching them.
But anybody can have this life-changing moment.
You’re not by yourself if you’re feeling anxious about getting hearing aids. You don’t have to be a child to feel a bit wary of this new experience.
Let’s investigate how individuals of all ages may cry tears of joy when they wear their hearing aid.
Music to your ears
Perhaps you didn’t even know. It happened so gradually. You quit listening to music. You’re just not that into it now. Sometimes, it is even grating. Turning it up makes it even worse.
Hearing loss doesn’t just impact the volume you can hear. It affects how you hear different tones and notes.
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 tones that were once lost in music will be appreciated once more when you get hearing aids. Music once more comes to life! It becomes a wonderful pleasure in your life that you’ve lost.
The laughter of a child
Do you recollect the sound of a child laughing? You may have forgotten this wonderful sound experience if you have chosen not to wear your hearing aids. Rediscover these captivating moments with your grandchildren by restoring your hearing.
Relationships repaired
Relationships can be substantially strained by disregarded hearing loss. It frustrates people and causes misunderstandings. They tend to argue more. It can even cause a person with hearing loss to isolate themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
They may stay away from social clubs or dinner out because they feel secluded and disconnected while others have a conversation.
Have you quit hobbies because they aren’t as enjoyable?
The simple act of getting your hearing back will revive your relationships with a partner, siblings, kids, and friends.
Regain your ability to speak with each other. Talk long into the night. Get back to doing the things you love and spending time with people you love.
If you miss this in your life, it’s time to reassess that hearing aid.
Feeling safer in your home
Do you feel troubled about what you can’t hear? If a loved one was hurt and yelling out to you, would you hear them? If the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm sounded, would you be able to hear them? Would you miss the phone ringing when a significant call was coming in?
Do you worry that you won’t hear oncoming traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a stroll?
These “what if’s” can cause us to feel unsafe in places where we should feel totally safe. But you put yourself at ease and more completely enjoy life when you get hearing aids. You’ll experience peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you might not even know about it
Just like the babies who’ve never heard their mother’s voices, you might not know what you’re missing. Hearing loss progresses gradually in most situations. You might simply forget the joy of things you no longer hear.
You’ll be surprised when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think you might have some level of hearing loss? Call us today to schedule a hearing assessment and find out what you’ve been missing.
