Improving your hearing doesn’t just help when you’re at work; their use can improve your leisure activities as much as any others. One of the key indicators of hearing loss is when a person withdraws from personal contact and social events. It starts with withdrawing from conversations, then withdrawing from events and eventually the need to leave the home disappears and the person derives all of their entertainment from television or written media.
The use of proper amplification can go a log way to preventing this from happening and the earlier we can start the process, the better the success will be with the instruments. Studies have shown that those with an active social life tend to live longer and happier lives than those who don’t participate in social events.
With the latest technology, even watersports and aqua activities are no longer an issue. A new coating put over the components prevents water from penetrating to the conductive parts of the circuitry so a hearing aid can literally sit under water for hours at a time and suffer no significant loss of function. Add this to the wireless functions available now and you can actually listen to your favorite music while swimming laps or playing water polo!
