Technology changes so quickly, it’s hard to keep up. Like many things in the world: TV, cars, phones, etc., hearing aids evolve over time. Remember the old hearing devices? Large and skin-toned, making people feel older, even if they were relatively young. But with companies like Phonak and Starkey, hearing aids are more innovative than ever. Not only are they used for hearing loss, but they’ve become something of a healthable; tracking physical and mental health. As you can see, the benefits of new hearing aids are already looking good.  Let’s get into these benefits and explain why upgrading is the way to go: 

Benefit #1: Fights hearing loss more efficiently

It’s imperative to treat hearing loss as early as possible. If you’ve taken a hearing screening and know you have hearing loss, hearing aids may be the answer, but that’s not a bad thing. The stigma of being old because of hearing devices is not a truth, especially when it means better health. The newest technology has better sound quality, creating a more authentic hearing experience. 

Benefit #2: Size matters

For many people in various working industries, it’s hard to have hearing aids on-the-job. Whether it’s in a business meeting or working in manual labor, there are hearing devices suited for any position. For instance, new devices have gotten much smaller and in some cases are actually invisible. 

Benefit #3: Socially active 

Whenever hearing loss persists, people tend to fall away from social interactions and events. Imagine being unable to hear, leading to an inability to involve yourself in conversations. After a while, you might isolate yourself and become depressed. With these new hearing aids, the fear of being treated differently can be left at the door, especially since they’re much smaller. 

Benefit #4: Artificial intelligence and bluetooth 

As said before, new hearing aids are now more of a healthable, but they serve a greater purpose than that too. For example, Starkey’s Livio AI devices can translate language in real time.  Need to tune in to the TV at home while the family’s sleeping? You can stream sound directly to your hearing devices.  We hope that these benefits of new hearing aids helps you or a loved one make that decision so they don’t fall into social isolation and depression. Hearing is one of the most important senses that we have for communication, so why let it degrade?  Schedule a same-day or Saturday appointment for a hearing screening by calling 770-740-1860 or filling out the form at the top.
