Give Mom the Gift of Better Hearing This Mother’s Day

Is your mom — or a mom you know — missing out on the sounds that matter most? It often takes years before someone with hearing loss reaches out for a life-changing solution. A little encouragement may be just the nudge she needs, and you can help.

Hearing on Her Terms Makes Moments More Special

Moms are a busy bunch. These duty-juggling, many-hats-wearing heroes can be hard-pressed to find time for themselves. So whether they’re hitting the dance floor, perfecting their golf game, catching up with a BFF, or scaling a rock wall, they can enjoy those special moments even more with healthy hearing. And you can help!

Recognizing the Signs

Is your mom, or a mom you know, missing out on the sounds of her life? Potential hearing loss has many signs. She may often turn up the TV, say “Huh?” or “What?” in response to clear questions, and have trouble following phone conversations or video calls. Withdrawal from social situations can also signify a hearing issue. Your mom might not even realize she’s pulling away from her life. And it’s not uncommon for people to put off life-changing hearing help for more than a decade even after a diagnosis of hearing loss. Mom might need a loving nudge in the right direction.

Better Hearing, Better Life

The benefits of seeking hearing care can go far beyond better communication. We love seeing patients reconnect with family, friends, and favorite hobbies thanks to a whole new world of sound in their lives. And with hearing loss linked to other conditions, including dementia, cardiovascular disease, depression, and falls, it’s encouraging that a growing body of research connects improved hearing to better cognitive health and other benefits.

Modern, Invisible Technology

The traditional barriers to seeking hearing care — feeling stigmatized for needing a hearing aid, for example — are things of the past. Today’s technology is not only practically invisible, but it also works seamlessly and continuously with the environment to maximize the wearer’s experience no matter where they go.   Some of today’s sophisticated hearing instruments can even work alone or with apps on compatible smartphones and tablets, handling activities such as:

• Conveniently controlling hearing aid settings through the smartphone or tablet
• Streaming TV, music, phone calls, and other audio straight to the ears
• Tracking brain and body health to help with fitness planning
• Communicating with people of other languages through real-time translation
• Enjoying remote care — including professional hearing aid adjustments — in the comfort of home
