Hearing loss at home

You’d be surprised at just how essential our ability to hear is to our everyday routines. The doorbell or phone ringing, your spouse calling from across the room, the oven timer going off—our lives are full of indicators and warnings that keep home life running smoothly. Take away these sounds and things can get complicated and frustrating. If you find the chores of daily life getting difficult or feel your relationships at home may be taking a hit, it’s time to take the first step to better hearing. An online hearing screening can be a great place to start.

When we think of protecting our hearing, we often think outside of the home. Loud concerts, construction zones, the siren on an ambulance driving by—these are all sounds we should protect our ears from. But dangerous sounds can be found at home, too. Beware of loud noises you may expose your ears to everyday. Opting for a vibrating alarm clock instead of a loud, high-pitched alarm, wearing ear protection when making your daily blended smoothie, reducing the amount of time you’re holding a loud hair dryer just inches from your ear—small steps can make a big difference.

Today’s modern hearing aids are intelligent and have functionalities that recognize and adjust to your daily life. You may slip off your shoes with you step in the door, but keeping your hearing aids on can make life around the house much more convenient and comfortable.

Motion sensors can help detect and adjust to movements and ensure that you’re hearing sounds from all directions.

Augmented Xperience also separates speech from other sounds, making it easier to talk to loved ones. Some modern hearing aids even include sound relax programs and tinnitus relief to help you destress and unwind.
