Local expert Khiyam Hussain from Hear Better With Us explains more about how hearing aids could benefit you.
Hearing aids are designed to help people who have a hearing loss hear better but did you know that hearing aids also improve quality of life and overall health in many other ways? In this article we explore how hearing aids can benefit you.
Improved Communication – If you are struggling to hear people speak, hearing aids can make it easier to hear and understand speech by amplifying sound and improving clarity.
This can lead to more enjoyable social interactions with family and friends.
Enhanced Emotional Well-being – Hearing loss can make communicating difficult and you may have stopped participating in conversation or avoid social interactions because of it.
This can lead to feelings of isolation, frustration, and depression. Hearing aids can improve emotional well-being by reducing social withdrawal, boosting self-confidence, and enhancing overall mood.
Better Relationships – You may have heard family and friends complaining about constantly repeating themselves and you may be tired of people shouting at you to compensate for this.
This effort to communicate with each other can be frustrating for both parties.
By improving your ability to hear and engage in conversations, hearing aids can help preserve and strengthen these
Increased Safety and Awareness – Being able to hear environmental sounds, such as sirens, alarms, approaching vehicles can improve your safety and awareness of your surroundings, reducing the risk of accidents and hazards.
Better Performance at Work – If you have a hearing loss, you may have misheard information or instructions at work, especially during group meetings.
Some people can find this embarrassing. Hearing aids can improve your ability to communicate in professional settings, leading to improved confidence and performance.
Reduced Tinnitus Symptoms – Tinnitus can be debilitating, however, for some of us hearing aids, by improving hearing loss, can reduce or eliminate tinnitus symptoms while worn.
If tinnitus is affecting your quality of life, it is well worth giving hearing aids a try.
Enhanced Listening Experience & Enjoyment of Activities – Hearing loss can reduce enjoyment of listening to music and watching television because it lacks clarity.
You may also miss out on the sounds of nature such as hearing birds chirp in the morning. Hearing aids can help you hear sounds that you have been missing enriching your listening experience.
They can also enhance enjoyment of activities such attending religious sermons, concerts, going to the theatre or out to eat by helping to improve hearing in background noise.
Increased awareness of everyday sounds – Hearing loss can make it difficult to hear high-pitched sounds such as the microwave ping, the phone or doorbell ring or even the kettle boil!
Regularly missing these everyday sounds can be frustrating. Hearing aids can help you re-engage with your surroundings making everyday tasks easier.
Increased Independence – With improved hearing, you may feel more confident and independent in your daily activities, reducing reliance on others for communication assistance and enhancing your overall sense of autonomy.
Hearing aids cannot restore perfect hearing but if you have a hearing loss, they can help you hear better which will improve your quality of life.
