TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve probably watched. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. In some of these videos, the baby is hesitant at first. When the doctor attempts to put the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. Before they smile with joy, they might cry a bit. A range of emotions overtakes them. They don’t know what to expect. But finally, their hearing is revived and the world suddenly opens up. The smiles and the laughter are enough to cause you to erupt into tears of joy!
But anyone can have this life-altering moment.
You’re not by yourself if you’re feeling anxious about getting hearing aids. If you’re feeling somewhat apprehensive about this process it doesn’t mean you’re a baby.
Let’s investigate how individuals of all ages may cry tears of joy when they use their hearing aid.
The sweet sound of music
You may not have even noticed it. It advanced so gradually. You don’t appreciate music like you used to. It just doesn’t seem as satisfying anymore. Sometimes, it is even aggravating. And the louder it gets the more annoying it gets.
Hearing loss doesn’t only effect the volume of sound. In some cases, only certain tones of sound are effected.
Music is composed of notes of sound that unify and travel as waves that are then picked up by your ears. If you can’t hear the splendid complexity of music, it just isn’t the same.
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 was once a wonderful pleasure in your life and now you have it back.
The laughter of a child
Do you remember what a child’s laughter sounds like? You may have forgotten this wonderful sound experience if you have chosen not to use your hearing aids. Rejuvenate your ability to hear and rediscover these magical moments with your grandchildren.
Repaired relationships
Neglected hearing loss can put a significant strain on relationships. People get aggravated. It can frequently result in more arguing. It can even cause an individual with hearing loss to separate themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
While others are talking and enjoying each other’s company, the person with hearing loss will feel disconnected and will frequently isolate themselves.
Have you given up hobbies because they’re not as enjoyable?
Your relationships with your children, friends, and your partner will be revived when you get your hearing back.
Restore your ability to talk to each other. Engage in long conversations. Get back to doing the things you enjoy and spending time with people you love.
If you miss this in your life, it’s time to reconsider that hearing aid.
Feeling safer in your 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 another room? Would you be able to hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm? Would you miss an important phone call because you didn’t even hear it ringing?
When you stroll through the neighborhood, are you sure that you’ll hear approaching traffic, pedestrian signals, or a bicycle bell?
When we are in places where we should feel very secure, hearing loss can make us feel quite anxious. But when you wear your hearing aid, you can be more at ease, and enjoy life to its fullest. You’ll find peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you may not even know about it
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. It’s possible that you’ve forgotten what hearing well is like.
You’ll be amazed when, suddenly, you can hear again. You’ll regret neglecting it this long. Think your hearing loss isn’t that bad? Contact us today to schedule a hearing exam and find out what you’ve been missing.
