Every year on March 3, people worldwide celebrate the importance of hearing for World Hearing Day. This year, we invite you to care for your hearing in order to care for the young people in your life.
There is a powerful connection between healthy hearing and being truly present for young people in our lives. When adults hear clearly, they’re better able to engage, support and share in the moments that shape childhood and young adulthood.
Young people need adults who listen – at HearingLife, we make sure you can.
Be a good role model by getting your hearing tested and treating any hearing loss you have. You’ll be ready to listen when a young person in your life is ready to talk, plus you’ll see a range of other benefits:
- Better overall quality of life
- Less exhaustion and fatigue
- Improved memory
Connecting with others is important for people of all ages, but especially as we age. Social isolation is a risk factor for early death and struggling to hear others can lead to self-isolating out of frustration. Our licensed hearing care experts are ready to help you understand your hearing and choose a solution that will help you hear better.
Today’s hearing aids are high-tech and connect directly to your smartphone for easier phone calls and video viewing, something your grandchild, niece or nephew may even be jealous of!
Once you have your new hearing aids, here are some conversation starters for your next chat over a coffee or milkshake:
- What’s something that really matters to you right now?
- What makes you feel proud of yourself?
- When do you feel most like yourself?
- What helps you relax or recharge when you’re overwhelmed?
- What’s a dream or idea you have that you haven’t shared with many people?
Other ways to be a great hearing care role model for others:
- Always wear ear plugs when you attend concerts or fireworks. You can even purchase custom hearing protection molded for your ears in the colors of your choice at HearingLife. Encourage young people in your life to do the same.
- Bring a younger friend with you for your annual hearing test. They’ll get to see what taking care of yourself looks like – and you’ll get company! If they can’t come with you, post a photo to social media from the hearing test booth.
- Tell others about your hearing aids and the great care you receive at HearingLife. Encourage everyone you know to check their ears at 60 years.
