Common Excuses for Not Buying Hearing Aids

Do you have a hearing loss? Many people put off getting hearing aids and avoid talking about their hearing loss for several years. Sadly, ignoring your hearing loss doesn’t make it go away, it makes it worse! Don’t use any of these common excuses for not buying hearing aids, and choose to invest in your hearing health and your future before your hearing loss gets worse.

My Hearing Isn’t That Bad!

Have you said this one before? You might not think your hearing is too bad, but if you’ve been noticing your hearing loss, it’s probably worse than you think. Hearing loss is often a gradual process, and can creep up on you when you’re not looking. The truth is that your brain is working hard to help you hear and it makes small accommodations as your hearing changes. You may think your hearing is still ok, but try to remember the last time you heard the birds chirping outside, or the last time you were able to get through an entire conversation without asking someone to repeat themselves. Even if you don’t think you have a hearing loss, schedule an appointment for a hearing test. If your hearing health is perfect, you’ll be proven right, but if you have hearing loss, you’ll be able to see exactly how bad your hearing has become.

Only Seniors Have Hearing Loss!

Do you think you’re too young to have hearing loss? There are nearly 48 million Americans with hearing loss, and many of these are children, teenagers, and adults. Hearing loss can be caused by exposure to loud noise on the job, listening to music at very high volumes, or even as the result of a head injury or an infection. You’re never too young to have hearing loss, and the longer you delay seeking treatment, the more apparent your hearing loss will become. A discreet hearing device will help you stay active and social regardless or your age, and you’ll only seem old if you’re struggling to hear or asking someone to repeat themselves over and over again.

Hearing Aids Don’t Work!

Have you ever thought about getting hearing aids, but aren’t convinced they work? Hearing technology is very complex, and these sophisticated devices can do an incredible number of things. From seamless streaming to speech enhancement, and the best in background noise reduction, hearing aids do work! If you or a friend has tried cheap over-the-counter devices that didn’t work, remember that these hearing aids are just amplifiers that will make all the sounds around you seem louder. They don’t have the programs you need to help you hear, balance sounds, or focus on speech, and they haven’t been calibrated to match your unique hearing loss and hearing needs.

Hearing Aids Will Whistle in My Ear!

Are you thinking about a hearing aid your friend wore 15 years ago? The whistling or squealing sound you sometimes heard was caused by wind noise or by feedback. Hearing aid technology has continued to improve every year, and modern hearing aids have the latest in feedback reduction. The fit of the hearing aid makes feedback unlikely, and a good seal can eliminate uncomfortable feedback. They’re very comfortable to wear, and feedback reduction programs will stop any whistling in its tracks.

Hearing Aids Are Too Complicated!

Does having a complicated hearing aid scare you? Modern hearing devices do have a lot of programs and features, but they’re very easy to use. You can get hearing aids that automatically adjust between programs and settings, so you’ll have clear hearing without ever lifting a finger. Many devices can also be wirelessly synced to your smartphone, so when you do need to adjust your hearing aids you can do it all from an easy-to-use app.

Treating Hearing Loss

If you’ve been using any of these common excuses for not buying hearing aids, now is the time to face these excuses, and make the right decision for your hearing health. Don’t settle for a life of hearing loss or spend your days straining to hear. Treat your hearing loss as soon as possible and find the perfect hearing aids that will provide the best in sound quality, speech clarity and comfort.
