IntegrityForward Hearing Solutions

I would encourage anyone who is thinking about getting hearing aids to do so. Like everything in life, perspective is paramount. If you are looking for them to replicate perfect hearing, then save your money. However, if you have a desire to enhance your own quality of life, and an understanding that hearing aids are a treatment for hearing loss and not a cure, then I think you will be delighted with the decision.

Don’t think of the need for hearing aids as a disability. Embrace them as a gift of modern technology and a gift to your loved ones. Don’t try them half way. Be committed to wearing them at home and in public. The more you get used to how they sound and feel, the more they can become your new normal.

For the first time I have a setting that cuts down on background noise while allowing me to hear nearby conversations. Recently I was visiting with a couple in the Overlook Café. There was a social event going on in the atrium that is open to the Overlook at the same time. As the background noise increased, I remembered the newest hearing aids have an 'Edge' setting and sure enough, with that setting, the background noise diminished, and I was able to carry on the conversation.
