It's Good to Hear Staying Connected Keeps You At the Top of Your Game

If staying sharp is on your wish list of things you'd like to maintain as you gracefully grow older, it is recommended that you get a hearing evaluation by a licensed audiologist. Most experts agree that the most effective way to maintain cognitive function is by maintaining a healthy social network.

We know that people with untreated hearing loss often drop out because it is simply too difficult for them to engage effectively in the give-and-take process of social interactions.

For people with hearing loss, the brain works overtime to translate signals and understand speech, especially in noisy environments such as restaurants, business meetings and social gatherings.

It takes more time and more energy to reflect on the meaning of sounds, to remember the flow of a conversation and to respond before the conversation has moved on. Over time, it simply becomes easier to sit back in social and business situations leading some to gradually isolate themselves from the “stress” of social interaction.

A hearing exam can quickly and painlessly pinpoint a hearing loss. With a wealth of sleek and stylish advanced technology hearing solutions that can address all degrees of hearing loss, there is no excuse for untreated hearing loss.

A new hearing instrument, recently released, is specifically designed to enable people with hearing loss to minimize the cognitive energy expended in typical listening environments without compromising sound quality and speech understanding.

This hearing instrument enables speech understanding immediately so that more cognitive energy is readily available to engage in day-to-day interactions.

Staying connected to modern life through today's high-tech communication and entertainment devices is another way that hearing impaired people maintain an active, vital lifestyle. This instrument connects wirelessly and seamlessly to mobile phones, MP3 music players and a variety of other communication and entertainment devices.

This family of hearing solutions can accommodate approximately 80 percent of hearing losses. Users can choose from two discreet style options a small mini behind-the-ear device that is almost invisible on the ear and a tiny CIC model that is worn completely in the ear canal.

If you have, or someone you know has, a hearing loss, there is better help today than ever before, so make an appointment with a professional who offers the latest technology.
