Hearing aids now and then

Growth around the world is visible in every aspect of our lives, including hearing care. Developments in technology are propelling our everyday lives in new directions for e-commerce, banking and also healthcare. If you, or your loved ones, are experiencing hearing loss then there are more, and better, hearing care solutions on offer than ever before. The best way to restore your hearing, and your quality of life, is to visit a good, professional audiologist, like Clarisound. At Clarisound we can update you, and your loved ones, on the most recent solutions for hearing care.   Satisfied customers In America, the Hearing Aid Industry Association has been gathering survey data for the last 30 years on developments in hearing care and hearing aids. Here are some of the results. Satisfaction with hearing instruments in 1989 was just 58 percent. In the latest survey conducted in 2022 this has increased to 83 percent. This can be attributed to better audiological care as well as better hearing aid technology.   Two for one People who wore hearing aids in both ears in 1989 amounted to 38.8 percent of those surveyed. By 2022 this figure has risen to 70 percent of people surveyed.   Many people who buy a hearing aid online may not only get a less suitable hearing aid than they would if they had visited a good, professional audiologist, like Clarisound, but they may also have missed out on wearing two hearing aids. If you, or your loved one, are suffering from hearing loss then often wearing a hearing aid in both ears will significantly increase your hearing experience. At Clarisound one of our good, professional audiologists can advise you on whether, or not, you would benefit from wearing hearing aids in both ears after conducting a scientific audiological test. Early intervention The average age of people purchasing hearing aids in 1989 was around 67 years of age. Today this has fallen to 60 years old.   This can be attributed to more people with hearing loss seeking hearing care solutions earlier, rather than ignoring any issues. A second reason that may explain the decrease in age of purchasing hearing aids is that the stigma associated with wearing a hearing aid has decreased. Nowadays the advances in the design of hearing aids means that you, and your loved ones, can choose from a variety of styles, sizes, colours and models of hearing aids that range from tiny, almost invisible hearing aids to beautifully stylish and colourful hearing aids. Technology means that the functionality offered by hearing aids these days means that the improvement in the quality of hearing that you, and your loved ones, can benefit from and enjoy cannot be ignored if you are experiencing hearing loss. Looking good A further trend revealed by the survey shows that people who wear hearing aids are no longer perceived by others as being less attractive and less competent than others. By 2020 this is no longer the case with people being surveyed saying that hearing aid owners never, or rarely, feel embarrassed or rejected when wearing their hearing aid.   If you, or your loved one, are experiencing hearing loss then please take Clarisound’s free, online hearing test before you book an appointment with one of our friendly, professional audiologists.
