The crunch of leaves beneath your feet signals nature’s transition to the glorious days of autumn, but if you’re suffering from hearing loss, you might be missing out on those and other sounds that help you stay connected to the world around you.
Recognizing the signs of hearing loss is the first step to improving your hearing, well-being and quality of life. Those around you often pick up on the first signs, which include asking people to repeat themselves, having trouble following group and/or phone conversations and turning the TV or radio up louder than others appreciate. Difficulty locating where sounds are coming from and ringing or buzzing sounds in your ears are other signs of hearing loss.
If you recognize any of those signs, HearingLife recommends booking a no-obligation hearing test and consultation, available for free to anyone 19 years or older. If your assessment reveals hearing loss, your HearingLife care professional will help you choose from a wide variety of hearing aids, all of which are discreet and many of which are Bluetooth compatible and rechargeable.
The professionals at HearingLife will take the time to understand your lifestyle and listening needs so they can help you choose the hearing aids right for you. With today’s sophisticated devices, it’s important to get the best advice on something that will mean so much to your quality of life.
Once you’ve selected your devices, your care professional will book a hearing aid fitting. That fitting is important — not just to ensure your devices are comfortable but because hearing aids arrive with default factory settings. Your HearingLife care professional will use the results of your hearing test to adjust the volume, output and features of each device to meet your unique hearing needs.
They’ll also perform ‘real-ear measurements,’ which involve placing a small microphone in each ear canal to measure the actual sound delivered by the hearing aid to ensure the devices are meeting your prescription in real-world conditions. Not every hearing clinic provides real-ear measurements. If your current devices haven’t been properly fitted, the HearingLife team is happy to test and reprogram your existing hearing aids to ensure they’re working for you.
Proper fitting is essential to long-term success with hearing aids. Also, at your fitting, you’ll learn how to properly use, clean and maintain your hearing aids, so you get the most out of them every day. And care doesn’t stop after the fitting. Your HearingLife care professional will follow up within the first month to ensure your hearing aids are comfortable and effective.
Your journey to better hearing also includes HearingLife’s Lifetime Complimentary In-Clinic Care. For the lifetime of your hearing aids, you can receive regular hearing assessments, complimentary hearing aid verifications, adjustments and modifications, in-clinic repairs, clean and checks, and loaner instruments where suitable. Wax guards and domes are also included for most devices. Schedule free in-person consultations or talk to a hearing care professional for troubleshooting advice from the comfort of home, either online or by phone or email.
Worried about the cost? Hearing aids are more affordable than you might expect. For the month of September you could qualify for $2,500 off. As well, HearingLife offers a variety of financing options as part of the personalized service it provides. Pay once or choose the Hear Now, Pay Later plan. A simple way to move forward without having to delay care or compromise on the quality of your hearing aids, it invites you to make smaller monthly payments that fit your budget from zero per cent interest and allows you to pay the plan off early with no penalty.
Additionally, HearingLife care professionals will be happy to assist you in assessing your eligibility for various government grants and financing programs for hearing aids.
Hearing aids are an investment that will benefit your health as well as valued relationships with loved ones and friends. After all, communication is a key part of our everyday lives. If you suffer from hearing loss, you may struggle to follow what is being said, feel unsure of how to respond or miss out on conversations entirely.
That disconnection can lead to embarrassment, frustration, disappointment and lack of confidence. You may even start avoiding social situations, which can lead to isolation and create lasting feelings of loneliness and sadness. HearingLife is here to help.
