Just as life changes, so does our hearing. So,
what’s the most effective way to be sure you’re always using a hearing
instrument that is benefiting your life the most? By upgrading every few
years! From improved speech understanding in noise to more discreet styling,
natural listening experiences and advancements in technologies, there are a several
of reasons to consider upgrading your hearing aids. Here are the top five:
- Your hearing has changed. Do you find yourself turning up the volume on your hearing aids
more often? Do you have more difficulty hearing in situations than
you used to? Do you hear unwanted noises like buzzing or ringing in your
ears? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it is time
for hearing assessment, as well as a product upgrade.
Age-related hearing loss — when hearing changes over time — is not only
common but expected! Hearing loss can progress even if you’re using a
hearing aid, and it may require upgrading to a new size or style that can
accommodate your growing power needs.
- Your lifestyle has changed. Hearing aids (literally) change the way
we experience life. Enhanced hearing can open doors to more social
situations, work opportunities and even new expectations in home
environments. These lifestyle changes also come with hearing changes, and
each often requires increased speech understanding in noise. Upgrading
your hearing aids to more adaptive and technologically advanced hearing
instruments will allow you to continue having clear and engaging listening
experiences — even in the most complex hearing environments.
- Your hearing aids aren’t as effective. Over time, electronic products that we
wear on our bodies are exposed to extremes like temperatures, humidity,
perspiration, dust and moisture. Due to this, they become more susceptible
to breakdowns. Hearing aid components such as directional microphones may
lose their sensitivity, and the tips of receiver outlets in the ear canal
may clog with oils from wax, reducing sound output. However, even though
hearing aids are built to last, everything must eventually face the test
of time. While most hearing aids last three to five years, the most
efficient way to be sure you’re accommodating changes in your hearing is
by staying up to date with the most sophisticated hearing device options.
Create a list of situations where your hearing aids aren’t working as well
as you would like. Share this list with your hearing care professional at
your next appointment to help them determine if upgrading is the right
choice for you.
- There are new innovations in technology. Does your hearing aid have Bluetooth
connectivity? What about features like digital noise reduction or adaptive
feedback cancellation? Can your hearing aids can help treat Tinnitus or accommodate your listening
needs in places looped with a Telecoil, such as theaters or places of
worship? Newer hearing aids are better equipped to tackle these different
needs and situations, with the latest advances in hearing aid technology
for the best hearing experiences.
- You deserve to stay connected to life’s
everyday moments. Because nothing is more special than being able to embrace the
sounds that enrich everyday life — in every sense.
