Taking charge of your hearing loss

Learn how to take control of your hearing health and maximise your hearing ability so you can get the best out of life.

Take the next step towards better hearing

Getting hearing aids can be daunting. It might feel like admitting to a weakness, or that you’re getting old. Fortunately, you are living in an age of advanced and discreet hearing care technology that can fit smoothly into your life and bring back the many joys of sound.

Hearing problems can become life problems

Hearing loss can affect more than just your ability to hear some sounds. Hearing helps us live a healthy life by engaging with the world, meeting and connecting with people, pursuing beneficial activities, and stimulating our minds.

Untreated hearing loss can lead to social withdrawal and isolation. Fortunately, it’s often easy to treat.

Why you should treat hearing loss

Acceptance is the first step towards changing your life

Hearing loss often happens gradually, so there’s no clear ‘before’ and ‘after’. It’s too easy to simply adapt and carry on your life, pretending to hear or avoiding difficult situations. But such adaptations may be limiting you from living the life you actually want to live.

Modern, discreet, and user-friendly Oticon hearing aids help you access all the sounds around you that your brain needs to work naturally. They can help you connect seamlessly to the digital world, truly changing your life for the better.

Why can I hear in quiet but struggle in noise?

People often find it difficult to hear when it’s noisier because it makes it harder to pick out the sounds you are interested in, such as what people are saying.

Your hearing care professional is always there to help

Think of your relationship with your hearing care professional as an ongoing relationship rather than an isolated hearing appointment, so stay in touch and contact them whenever you need help.

Get your hearing tested annually to see if your hearing changes. This will also give your hearing care professional a chance to ask you and help identify any challenges that you may not have been aware of.

Advice for getting hearing aids

Try to have an open mind and be ready to listen to the hearing care professional’s advice.

Think about which situations are most challenging for you and ask someone who knows you well for their opinion. Try to note them down and describe them so you can tell your hearing care professional.

Have a look at hearing aids you might like. There are many different styles and sizes, and technologies like rechargeable batteries and Bluetooth®, which allows you to connect your hearing aids to your phone and other devices.
