Hearing Resources (175)

Gone are the days of large, clunky devices that work periodically at best, and look embarrassingly bad. Today’s hearing aids are pieces of technology that do more than increase volume and are significantly less visible than their predecessors. Furthermore, the stigma previously associated with wearing them is a thing of the past.

Untreated hearing loss can negatively impact your interactions with others, even if you don’t realize it. You find yourself pulling away from one-on-one interactions, especially in loud, noisy conversations, and feel lonely. It may be time to take action.

Hearing loss can be a sensitive subject, especially if your loved one does not wish to address it. But it’s a meaningful conversation that will benefit everyone in the long run. Here are some ideas for starting up “the talk” about hearing loss.

Use it or lose it is right: if you have hearing loss, your brain is missing out on stimuli that keeps it active. The brain will naturally rework an underutilized auditory cortex, and that can have severe implications for your cognitive abilities.

For a fraction of the price, you may think over-the-counter hearing aids are the cost-effective solution to your hearing loss. While they have their advantages, it’s also essential to understand the shortcomings that accompany these hearing devices.

At Widex, the primary goal is to support both Hearing Healthcare Professionals and hearing aid wearers as much as possible. As such, we are excited to provide updates to Widex MOMENT™ hearing aids directly through the Widex MOMENT™ app. This process will allow Widex to make enhancements to Widex MOMENT™ hearing aids without the hearing aid wearer visiting the office.

Hearing loss can make communication even more difficult you or your loved one live in assisted living. A facility that supports the deaf and hard of hearing will support emotional, physical, and social well-being.

Hearing aids are doing more than ever before. Wearers experience higher levels of hearing aid satisfaction thanks to design, style, and functional upgrades.

The far-reaching implications of improved satisfaction mean you can hear and interact better. And social interaction is key to your health and well-being.
