Do I need to wear my hearing aids all the time?
My usual answer to patients is, “Only when you want to hear what’s being said.” Hearing aids, in many ways, are like glasses. So do you wear your glasses all the time? Most of us do. The reason being that it is too much of a hassle not to wear them and very inconvenient when we are trying to read small print to get up and find them. It’s important to be able to see who’s at the door or when working with small objects.
The same is true with hearing aids. If you don’t put them on you’re going to miss what is said on TV or when someone is talking or someone knocks at your door and you can’t hear the knock. The need for good hearing is so important especially if you live alone. Safety is one of the biggest concerns for anyone who wants to live independently.
Then there is another factor no one ever thinks about. This is the fact that if we don’t keep the stimulation of sound to the brain our ability to make out words from sounds usually diminishes over time. If we can keep the stimulation going by wearing our hearing aids we may not be able to stop this process altogether, however we can definitely slow it down.

Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
I appreciate your post. I also wrote that SMS advertising provides a cost effective method of targeting promotions to specific customer profiles. You might want to remind customers of specific events or promotions, but for whatever reasons, SMS allows you to pass information directly to the right customer at very affordable prices and fast delivery.
