Don’t Forget to do This Before The Holidays

Woman packing a holiday gift into a box now that she has hearing aids.

Cinnamon and nutmeg wafting through the air. A festive spirit and green, red, and blue lights fill your house. You enjoy catching up with your family members as your grandchildren dance, sing and play.

The holidays are lively, and you don’t want to miss a beat.

Are you ready?

Is There Anything You Might be Missing?

You try to spend as much meaningful time as possible with family and friends all year, but the holidays are different. Every moment is precious.

But the voices of the people speaking around you frequently get drowned out by the din of background noise. You need to ask them to repeat themselves.

As the conversation continues, your youngest niece and her husband make an important announcement. Everybody at the table smiles widely and congratulates them. The volume in the room rises as the family begins to cheer.

Confusion and embarrassment overtakes you. You missed the announcement. You don’t know what’s going on.

You wish you could take someone aside and find out what you missed. Whatever it was, it’s significant. But you’re feeling embarrassed that you didn’t catch it the first time.

It just isn’t the same when someone has to repeat it. And you don’t want to disrupt the cheering.

You later discover, after everybody else, that your niece went to the doctor this week. They’re going to have a baby.

You never know what you’re going to miss this holiday season if you have hearing loss.

Prepping For The Holidays

In anticipation, you’ve already bought presents and planned that big meal. You typically get your shopping done well in advance of the holiday.

You’re planning zoom calls and getting your house decorated. Doing all this is important to you.

But what’s most important is being able to have meaningful conversation with friends and relatives.

Don’t wait until the last minute to have your hearing tested.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Even if you have mild hearing loss, we can help you with appropriate treatments now.

These treatments can help you hear better around the holidays, on calls, or at the grocery store. It becomes easier to hear what people are saying through all the background noise when you use a hearing device.

You will be able to hear what people are saying on the phone also.

Starting early is always the best bet. It takes a little bit of time to become confident with some of these solutions. This will make sure that you are ready when it’s time for your family to get together. Don’t miss a moment of your grandchildren’s laughter. Don’t feel out of the loop during a major announcement.
