Do you feel that you’re missing out on conversations or having to turn the television up?

This could be a sign of loss or hearing and perhaps the time to consider a hearing aid.

Here are six ways hearing aids could really improve your life and some of them might even surprise you:

1. Improved hearing – It’s frustrating when you miss part of the conversation, it can make you feel left out. But you don’t have to.

Modern hearing aids don’t just make things louder, they are designed to suppress unwanted background noise. This could help you in challenging listening environments, such as busy restaurants or social events.

Today’s hearing aids are also smaller and sleeker than ever and can even connect to other devices, like your phone or TV. And some are so small they’re virtually invisible.

2. Better sleep – In a recent survey, 56% of people said they were satisfied with their quality of sleep versus 34% of people who had a hearing loss and didn’t wear a hearing aid.

3. Better social life – In the same study, 66% of hearing aid users wish they had got them sooner. The number one reason? Missing out on their social life.

4. Remote care – Your hearing care professional can fine-tune certain hearing aids from a distance, via a video call. You could get the support you need from the comfort of your own home.

5. Less hearing-related anxiety at work – 61% of UK workers worry about their hearing. When hearing aid users were asked to rate, in order of significance, the changes they had experienced since using their aids, both relationships at work and success in their jobs featured in the top 10 positive changes.

6. Your brain health – Our brain and ears work together when it comes to hearing. If you have a hearing loss, your brain has to work harder to follow conversations and this extra strain could put you at in increased risk of cognitive decline.

These are just some of the benefits that you could experience by treating a hearing loss.
