You should make an appointment with a hearing professional like an audiologist, hearing aid specialist or ENT for an evaluation, consultation and hearing test. Many hearing care professionals offer this evaluation at nominal charge.

When seeking treatment for hearing loss, be sure to select a hearing professional who understands and is well versed with the available latest technology and offers efficient follow-up care.

While you are no doubt concerned about appearance, compensating for a hearing loss by asking people to repeat themselves, inappropriately responding to people (or not responding at all), or even withdrawing from social situations is more obvious of showing your age than wearing a hearing aid.
Today’s hearing aids are small, discreet and more stylish than ever. Some are even invisible. And, chances are that once you have a hearing aid, your quality of life will improve so much that cosmetics won't be as much of an issue for you.
While hearing aids have helped millions of people around the world improve their hearing experience and quality of life, there are still some misconceptions about them. Don’t let these common myths keep you or someone you care about from getting help to overcome hearing loss.

Research on people with hearing loss and their significant others has shown that hearing aids play a significant factor in a person's social, emotional, psychological and physical well-being. More specifically, treating hearing loss has been shown to improve:

• Communication in relationships
• Intimacy and warmth in family relationships
• Ease in communication
• Earning Confidence
• Sense of control over your life
• Social participation
• Emotional stability

At their most basic, hearing aids are microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An amplifier increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A source of power is necessary to put the hearing aid into action mode.

Hearing Aid is a Rehab Product, hearing aids are designed to let you hear soft sounds that you could not hear before, While no hearing aid can restore your hearing to normal (except in cases of very mild hearing loss). They are also designed to improve your ability to understand speech, and lead a new normal life.
Hearing is a complex process that starts with the ears and ends in the brain where information is received, stored and "decoded" into something called ‘Understanding’.

While no hearing aid can filter out all background noise, our advanced hearing aids are designed to reduce some types of background noise so that you can enjoy conversation and improve communication in places like restaurants, business meetings and social gatherings.

Like many other high-tech devices (TVs, phones, computers), hearing aids have experienced a major technological revolution in the past decade and especially in the recent time of “AI” technology. The best of today’s hearing aids is designed to virtually eliminate feedback, make listening in noisy environments effortless and more comfortable, direct streaming stereo sound from TVs and radios to the hearing aid itself, let you talk on your phone hands-free, and much more. Now, instruments are smaller (and in some cases, invisible), more comfortable and powerful than ever.

Yes. Most people need an adjustment period of (6 to 16 weeks) up to four months before becoming “USEDTO” - and enjoy the full benefit of — wearing their hearing aids. However, you should expect to notice obvious benefits during this trial period. Remember, your hearing professional is there to help. Do not be afraid to call or visit to discuss your concerns.

• Be Realistic: Your hearing loss has been gradual; over the years, you have lost the ability to hear certain sounds in the speech spectrum and normal sounds of the environment, such as traffic and wind noise, the hum of machinery, and other background noises.
• Practice: When you begin to wear hearing aids, these sounds will be restored, but your brain will need practice and reeducation in order to selectively focus on and filter sounds. Some sounds may even startle you at first. Know that your brain will acclimate to these sounds again over time.
• Be Patient: It takes time to adapt to hearing aids. Wear them as much as possible at first to become more skilled at recognizing sound direction and to learn which hearing aid settings work best for you in different situations.
• Rest: The adjustment period may be tiresome. It’s a lot like retraining a muscle that hasn’t been used in a while. But the benefits will be worth it after you’ve made the adjustment.

Two-ear hearing (called "binaural") is better than one. If you have hearing loss in only one ear, you may be fine with one hearing aid. Age and noise-related hearing loss tend to affect both ears, but your hearing profile for each ear is probably different. If there is a loss in both ears, you will probably benefit more with a binaural solution. Today, about two-thirds of new users opt for dual hearing aids, and as a group they report a higher level of satisfaction than purchasers of a single hearing aid.

There appears to be a connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline according to research conducted and published by a team of physicians at Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging.
According to the study, “Aging adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop negative thinking and memory loss compared to Aging adults whose hearing is normal.”

According to the study, “older adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than older adults whose hearing is normal.”
