You aren’t the only person affected by your hearing issues

Why healthy hearing is a gift to both you and your loved ones

Have family members been telling you that your television is cranked up too high? Are you having issues following conversations? Is it difficult to understand the person on the other end of the phone line?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, it’s probably a good time to have your hearing checked.

“We take someone through their entire journey of suspecting they may have hearing loss,” HearingLife chief audiologist Jillian Price says.

“Getting your ears checked doesn’t require a doctor referral. If you want your hearing checked, just contact us.”

Nearly half of Canadians over 60 are living with some form of hearing loss, so you aren’t alone.

Ensuring that you’re loving your ears and looking after them is a crucial part of your overall health. Loving your ears means proactively caring for your hearing health by protecting them against loud noises, going for regular hearing tests and checking to make sure your hearing aids are working right for you.

When we can’t hear properly, it’s harder to connect and easier to withdraw. Socialization may become difficult and it’s easier just to avoid situations with many people and conversations.

“It’s something people tend to let go and put out of their heads until they realize it’s affecting them every day and their family,” Price says.

“We’ve been told that we’ve saved marriages.”

By addressing the changes in your hearing, you’ll be able to live a more active life. When you’re no longer held back by hearing limitations, you’ll want to participate more.

“There is a strong connection between hearing care and quality of life,” Price says.

Price recommends that if you suspect your hearing may require some attention, to come in and have it addressed. Not only does HearingLife offer free hearing tests, they also offer complimentary hearing aid trials.

“Just try them and see what they do for you. You’ll be pleasantly surprised,” Price says.

“Life will feel and sound so much better.”
