👂 Think you’re not a candidate for hearing aids?
☝️ You might be surprised!

Here are some common misconceptions about hearing aids and who ACTUALLY needs them.

1️⃣ They’re only for people with SEVERE hearing loss 🤯
The majority of hearing aid users actually have mild to moderate loss.

2️⃣ They make you look older 😤

3️⃣ They’re Costly 🤨
Prices vary, but technology is available across a range of budgets and features.

🛎️ Tinnitus — that ringing, buzzing, or pulsing that doesn’t seem to have a source — isn’t just in your head.

Mispronouncing words can be more than a slip — it can highlight unnoticed hearing struggles. This article inspires confidence in asking for clarity. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4phRPOf

"Joan Furstenberg was incredibly patient with me years ago when I got my first pair of hearing aids. I think I tried 5 different pairs before deciding, and she has been super helpful in the years since when I've had glitches. I was satisfied with what I had, but my insurance covers a new pair so I went in today to start the process to get more bells and whistles. So glad that I did!"

🎉 Did the holidays wear you out more than they used to? It could be listening fatigue. This is when hearing loss makes your brain work overtime trying to fill in missing speech sounds amid background noise and overlapping conversations.

Other simple signs of hearing loss are asking others to repeat themselves, turning up the music more than usual, talking louder than those around you, or having trouble following a group conversation.
