Hearing loss, unfortunately, often comes with age. Your partner is increasingly difficult to understand, especially when the TV is on. Outside, you should ask more often what your hiking buddy has said. And the one and a half meters away doesn’t help either. But to get a hearing aid now? That’s quite a step.
Agree: I want to put off a hearing aid for as long as possible
Most sounds may still be fine for you to hear. It is only when there is a lot of buzz that it is not always possible to understand people properly. Or you do not want to become dependent on a hearing aid, soon you will no longer be able to do without it. A hearing aid can’t restore what you’ve lost – hear really well like before. It does sound a bit different. And besides, not everything is worth listening to. Or the hearing loss doesn’t bother you so much that you would want a hearing aid.
Disagree: I’ll get a hearing aid as soon as I hear worse / I’ve had one measured.
Poor hearing can be exhausting. You are often tired at the end of the day, or you have a headache. People may react irritably if you ask ‘What are you saying?’ again. It can also be dangerous to hear poorly, for example in traffic. Doctors also advise to start using a hearing aid on time, because it takes some getting used to. ‘To handle a hearing aid properly, you need perseverance and dexterity’, writes Thuisarts.
