LOOKING FOR A HEARING AID?

A properly fitted digital hearing device should not cause you any discomfort.

Actually, your hearing loss is probably more noticeable. Let’s face it, constantly saying “what ?” and “huh ?” don’t do much to dispel the notion that your getting older. But being an active participant in life, catching the punchline (and laughing at the right time), or actually hearing those sweet nothings whispered in your ear make you feel and appear young.

At the moment, prices range start from ₹10,000 for an analog hearing aid and from ₹18000 to ₹300000 for a digital hearing aid. However,which one is best for you depends on many factors like, your hearing loss, individual needs, your lifestyle, dexterity, family involvement etc.

Hearing aids can last anywhere from three years to seven — for some people, even longer. Variables affecting this lifespan include how well the instrument is built, how well it’s maintained, and how much wear and tear it experiences being worn in your ear for many hours a day.

When does hearing loss begin? Statistically we all start to lose our hearing when we are in our 40s. One adult in five and more than half of all people over the age of 80 suffer from hearing loss. However, more than half of the hearing impaired population are of working age.

Cost is relative to the perceived value you get from your hearing aids. The most important “investment” is your attitude and willingness to work through adapting to your hearing aids. For many, the improved quality of life and relationships make hearing aids one of the best investments they ever made.

The most common cause of acquired hearing loss is due to age. However, heredity, exposure to loud noise, unforeseen accidents also accounts for over one quarter of people affected by hearing loss.
