Not Your Grandpa’s Hearing Aids
If you are suffering from hearing loss and yet have resisted getting hearing aids, you are not alone. What you may not realize is that stigmas associated with hearing aids don’t apply as they did in previous times. Advancements in hearing aid technology have changed everything, and they are worth a look. It’s not mere cliché to say that modern devices are certainly not your grandpa’s hearing aids.
Breaking the Stigma of Appearing Old
You may associate hearing aids with the stigma of looking older. Who wants to wear something that adds years? This stigma has been completely been done away with. New technology is a far cry from hearing aids of the past. In fact, the high-tech devices available today are a testament to innovation.
In recent generations, hearing aids were somewhat heavy and they were conspicuous, wrapping around the outside of the ear. Hearing aids today can fit directly into your ear, with no outer components that might invite attention. There is still behind the ear (BTE) technology and “mini” BTE, but they are much less obvious than hearing aids in decades past. The new digital technology that is widely used is also lightweight.
An added benefit that’s worth noting is that millions of people now wear audio devices that have Bluetooth technology. Who takes the time to differentiate between a device that is strictly a hearing aid and Bluetooth devices?
Breaking the Stigma of Substandard Sound
It’s no secret that hearing aids of the past created numerous challenges, such as enjoying music. Sound reproduction achieved through hearing aids is a complex issue that can be resolved with technology of the highest quality. Modern hearing aids in general are able to adjust automatically to a wide variety of soundscapes.
Of course it’s frustrating to think that wearing hearing aids may not significantly improve your ability to enjoy a conversation with loved ones in a restaurant. But recent technological advances are significant and provide tremendous versatility. You are able to enjoy restored hearing in every kind of environment, from the subtle sounds in nature to the comments of every person in a staff meeting.
