Winter is about more than just cozy sweaters and cold weather; it’s also the time to gather with our families, reflect on the year behind us and set our intentions for the year to come. Your hearing health is a part of all of this. If you’re due for a regular hearing checkup, now is the perfect time to schedule it.
Gathering with Loved Ones
Holiday gatherings abound in December, and New Year’s parties follow closely on their heels. Enjoy these events with your loved ones and friends to the fullest, knowing that your hearing is at its best.
Attending your annual hearing checkup allows your hearing health specialist to assess the progression of your hearing loss and determine if any adjustments need to be made to your settings or listening programs. These adjustments will prove invaluable as you attend noisy social events, fine-tuning features such as noise suppression and speech amplification.
Reflecting on the Year
As we age, our bodies undergo a myriad of changes. Your hearing and ear health are not static; they will age and change with you. Your hearing loss may progress, or your ear canals can change shape. You have changed over the past year, and in order to serve you to the best of their abilities, your hearing aids need to change with you.
Perhaps your ear canals have changed shape, and your current hearing aid set is no longer comfortable—in that case, new earmolds or domes may be necessary. Or perhaps your hearing loss has progressed, and you need a new prescription, requiring a hearing aid upgrade.
Looking Ahead
Let’s set you up for success in the coming year with your hearing aids at their best. Whether that means updating your settings or upgrading your set, you know that you’re going into 2026 with great hearing. Your hearing aids will bring significant benefits to your physical health, mental health, social relationships, independence, confidence and cognitive health. Let all these things set you up for a happy, fulfilling, healthy 2026.
