Are You Wired Up?

Are You Wired Up?  We live in a hands-free, blue tooth, cell phone, wireless society today.  And with all of the devices that are available to make our lives easier or to help us remain compliant to laws, did you know that these devices can also support people with hearing loss?

Hearing instrument technology is not just for “Old People” anymore, despite the misconception that hearing loss is primarily related to age.  We are identifying hearing loss in younger active people every day, the product of music or high noise impact careers, and this segment of our population needs to be able to communicate effectively.

“No one wants to know that the years of loud concerts really did leave damage behind, but there are solutions for the treatment of hearing loss that fit easily into our current society.” says Carrie Unkel, Audiologist and owner of Southern Nevada Audiology.  “Anyone who has a cell phone understands how important clarity is for effective communication.  Hearing instruments and related wireless devices are just another tool in the toolbox.”

Technology today includes hearing instruments that can connect easily to your TV, stereo, computer and cell phone.  By using this connection technology your hearing instruments automatically adjust to your changing sound environments.  

If you or someone you love is suffering from hearing loss, find a qualified Audiologist today to learn about your specific loss.  An Audiologist is a qualified and specially-trained professional who can help you find solutions to hearing loss.  Although some people will benefit from options such as hearing aids, other individuals and families can benefit from coping strategies.  An Audiologist is dedicated to finding positive solutions for hearing loss that meet the unique needs of each person.

How do you know if someone you love is struggling to hear?

Ask yourself if any of these scenarios seem familiar.

Does the family member:

• Ask people to repeat themselves often?
• Look confused during conversations?
• Get angry or frustrated easily?
• Sit quietly while others speak around them?
• Tend to sit on the outskirt of a conversation and refrain from participating?
