Did you know? Did you know? You may need hearing aids even with a mild hearing loss Untreated hearing loss, even mild, aff ects the brain's ability to remember common everyday sounds. When the hearing nerves lose their function and no longer send sounds to the brain, the brain "forgets" the sounds and is unable to understand them over time. The longer people wait to seek treatment, the more sounds will be unrecognizable once treatment is sought. Of course, your audiologist will help you determine if hearing aids are the proper treatment. Hearing aids won't affect your lifestyle Today's hearing technologies are suitable for all lifestyles. If you spend a lot of time on the phone, there are blue- tooth-compatible hearing aids that pair with your phone, so you can hear conversations, music and other sounds from your phone directly in your ears. Do you work out and sweat frequently? There are now water resistant hearing aids. Are you often in the company of large groups of peo- ple? Hearing aids with multi-directional microphones will help you hear conversations taking place in front of, to the side of, and behind you. adno=3837188-1 Olga Perkins, HAS Hearing Aid Specialist Hear Again America Port Charlotte 3036 Tamiami Trail, Suite A Port Charlotte, Florida. 33952 Phone: 941-629-8808 www.hearagainamerica.com adno=3833211-1 Today's medical grade hearing instruments take a fundamentally diff erent approach to sound processing. What does this mean? 1) Improved speech understanding; 2) reduced listening eff ort; 3) more & clearer sound to the brain. You hear with your brain, not your ears. With traditional hearing aids you can miss important sounds, like someone talking next to you. This is because traditional hearing aids are designed to only focus on the sound in front of you. Today's hearing instruments can focus in front of you and block everything else out. Thanks to ground breaking technology, hear speech when in noisy environments so you can focus on the sounds you love.
