Hearing Aids Can Keep You Connected
As a society, we tend to think of a hearing aid as an "old person's" device. In the minds of many, this is a prosthesis with limited validity in today's world. However, many younger people choose to use hearing aids to stay connected with friends and family. In this blog post, we will discuss the ways that hearing aids can enable connections with others and why it is essential for everyone to maintain their auditory capacity. In modern society, it is difficult for people with hear loss - from mild impairment all the way up to profound deafness - to maintain friendly relationships or hold a conversation without the assistance of a third party. This is especially true for younger people (though it does occur in older individuals). When someone cannot hear, others can find it challenging to communicate with them. Without a means of auditory connection, friends, family, and loved ones can develop feelings of alienation, discouragement or frustration. Hea
