TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve probably seen. Babies hearing the voice of their mother for the first time after getting a hearing aid. In some videos, the baby is uncertain initially. They struggle when the doctor tries to place the device in their ear. Before they smile with joy, they may cry a bit. They’re overtaken with a range of emotions. They’re apprehensive about what to expect. But finally, their hearing is restored and the world abruptly opens up. These videos can even cause tears of joy for those watching them.
But this life-changing event could happen for anybody.
You’re not by yourself if you’re feeling apprehensive about getting hearing aids. You don’t have to be a baby to feel a bit wary of this new experience.
Let’s investigate how people of any age might cry tears of joy when they wear their hearing aid.
The sweet sound of music
Maybe you didn’t even realize. It occurred so slowly. You don’t take pleasure in music like you used to. It just doesn’t seem as satisfying as it once did. It even aggravates you at times. And the louder it gets the more annoying it becomes.
It’s not just volume that is effected by hearing loss. It impacts how you hear different tones and notes.
Music is made of notes of sound that unify and travel as waves that are then picked up by your ears. Music is just not the same if you are unable to hear the fantastic complexity of the notes.
Those notes that were once missing in music will be appreciated once more when you use hearing aids. Once again, music comes alive. It was once a great pleasure in your life and now you’ve got it back.
A child’s laughter
Do you remember what a child’s laughing sounds like? You may have forgotten this beautiful sound experience if you’ve chosen not to wear your hearing aids. Rediscover these captivating moments with your grandkids by restoring your hearing.
Restored relationships
Neglected hearing loss can place a significant strain on relationships. People get aggravated. It can often result in more arguing. It can even cause a person with hearing loss to seclude themselves, so they don’t feel like a burden.
While others are chatting and enjoying one another’s company, the person with hearing loss will feel disconnected and will often separate themselves.
Have you quit hobbies because they aren’t as enjoyable?
The simple act of getting your hearing back will revive your relationships with a partner, siblings, kids, and friends.
Regain your ability to speak with each other. Converse long into the night. Go back to doing the things you enjoy and spending time with people you love.
It’s time to think about hearing aids if you’re missing these things in your life.
Feeling safer in your home
Do you feel troubled about what you can’t hear? Would you hear the voice of an injured loved one yelling to you from the other room? Would you hear the doorbell, oven timer, or smoke alarm? Would you miss the ringing of the phone when a significant call was coming in?
Do you worry that you won’t be able to hear approaching traffic or pedestrian signals when out for a walk?
When we are in places where we should feel very safe, hearing loss can make us feel quite uneasy. But when you use your hearing aid, you can be more confident, and enjoy life to its fullest. You’ll experience peace of mind.
Whatever you’re missing, you might not even know about it
You might not even be aware of what you’re missing, much like the babies who hear their mother’s voice for the first time. In most cases, hearing loss is a gradual progressive process. You might simply forget the joy of things you no longer hear.
When you can suddenly hear again, you’ll be amazed. You’ll regret letting it go this long. Think you may have some degree of hearing loss? Call us today to schedule a hearing exam and see what you’ve been missing.
