👀 Ever notice how at a bustling holiday party, you can still zero in on your friend telling a hilarious story about you across the room… while all the other chatter fades into background noise? 👂
🍸 That’s called the cocktail party effect, and it’s one of the amazing gifts of hearing! Our brains are wired to help us pick out the voices that matter most, even in a sea of sound. This season, as you mingle at office parties, family dinners, or cookie swaps, take a moment to appreciate that incredible ability!
If following conversations in noisy rooms is getting tricky, a hearing check might be the perfect gift to yourself before the holidays get loud.
