With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time to relax, binge our favourite TV shows and catch up with family and friends. The holiday season can also present challenges for people struggling with hearing loss and hearing devices.
Tips for preparing for the holiday season if you have hearing aids:
If you notice your hearing aids are not working to their full potential, you might need to contact your audiologist for support prior to the holiday season.
Audiological services are limited over the holidays, so plan ahead as fully working aids will make you feel more confident to enjoy time with your loved ones.
As well as continuing your daily cleaning routine, get checked for earwax. If your earmold is a good fit and has recently started to produce feedback, it could be an early sign of earwax buildup. You can book to get your earwax removed at Hearsmart before the holiday season starts.
Five tips for the holiday season:
1. Stock up on batteries before the holiday season
2. Always carry spare hearing aid batteries
3. Continue with your daily cleaning routine
4. Make sure to pack your charger and cable if you have rechargeable hearing devices
5. Check that your phone is updated and paired to the hearing devices.
If you or your loved one is struggling with hearing loss, contact your local independent Hearsmart Hearing Solutions today to schedule a hearing test and evaluation.
Don’t let this holiday season pass you by!
