As we say goodbye to 2020 and hello to 2021 we have found ourselves reflecting on the year past. 2020 has been an emotional rollercoaster ride, and now more than ever people everywhere need human connection. Staying connected to family and friends has never felt more important than it has in 2020, and now in 2021. Nor has it been more challenging — especially if you have hearing loss!
For many people with hearing loss, the holidays and the summer season can be especially challenging. While large family gatherings offer a great chance to catch up with friends and family, parties and gatherings can lead to challenging listening situations for people with hearing loss. The last thing you want to do while at a BBQ is to ask the people around you to repeat the joke that just made everyone else laugh. Why miss a minute of the sounds you love most?
With this in mind, here are some of the top reasons why you should focus on your hearing as we move into 2021, and why you should book in to see us at Hearing Sense as soon as possible.
- Start the year right
Why not get the New Year off to a great start, by ensuring peace of mind on at least this one matter? If you book a hearing test with Hearing Sense then that guarantees that it will be one less thing on your mind over the holidays and moving into the months ahead. Whatever news they give you, you will be able to stop wondering and worrying about the unknowns, and deal only with the ‘knowns’.
- Getting it out of the way early
Everyone loves crossing resolutions off their list early, so here’s an easy one to check off before it joins those Spanish language lessons you keep putting off. Put “booking a hearing test at Hearing Sense” at the top of your 2021 resolutions and then cross it off by making an appointment today. Making a start like this is a good way to build the kind of momentum which will see you move through the rest of your list of resolutions in no time at all.
- Family gatherings will be less stressful
If you have an untreated hearing issue, then it’s true that you may miss a few words here and there at family gatherings this Christmas. But next year needn’t be a repeat of the same situation. If you get tested now, then you’ll be set for family gatherings all throughout the New Year. Adapting to a new hearing aid is a quick process, and by Easter, you may already be in a much better position than you were at Christmas. You can look forward to hearing every word, being able to contribute to conversations and laugh at terrible family jokes.
- You’ll be able to see and hear next year’s NYE fireworks
The blooming flowers of exploding light in the night sky are so awe-inspiring and impressive to watch, and we can all feel the thumping shockwave vibrations of the New Year’s Eve fireworks celebrations in our chests. But if these booms sound like little more than muffled thumps to your ears, then you may have a hearing problem. We all have to protect our hearing from fireworks, but if you’re not hearing them properly there’s still time to get yourself checked so that next year you can hear everything from the crackles of the little crackers to the bangs of the big ones. All from a safe distance of course.
In 2021, make your spirits bright by starting the year right and ensuring you can hear the joyful sounds of the summer season, feel included in every festivity, and that you keep connected to loved ones near and far!
With all these reasons to strengthen your resolve, and make the necessary changes to your hearing health, there is nothing is stopping you from booking in today to see us at Hearing Sense and get 2021 started right.
