Listening to the Sounds of Life

AN OLD STORY

It is an unfortunate reality that only approximately one in five people who could benefit from a hearing instrument actually use one. The other four reject using a hearing instrument for any number of reasons, perhaps the most common of which is the perception that it will “make them look older.” The fact is that nothing makes a person with impaired hearing look older than constantly having to ask people to repeat what they just said. On the other hand, not only can today’s technically advanced hearing instruments dramatically improve users’ ability to hear and understand conversation (even in noisy environments), they are scarcely noticeable. Hearing instrument use no longer involves trade-offs.

The digital revolution has made a huge impact on the way hearing aids look, feel and work. They can be so small that they are virtually invisible, so "cool" looking that you will want everyone to see them and so natural sounding, they mimic the way you used to hear before you experienced hearing loss. To schedule a hearing exam, please call FAMILY HEARING CARE CENTER at 781-337-1144. Our office is located at 543 Main St. (Rt. 18), across from the Stetson Bldg. in Weymouth. We also have an office in Abington. Please visit our website at www.familyhearing.net. Listen to Life Again.

P.S. Even if a hearing instrument were noticeable, it would be no more so than the seemingly ubiquitous Bluetooth telephone headset devices that many consider to be so chic and cutting-edge.
