Loud voices are still not clear

Q: Voices are loud enough for me to hear at dinner, on TV, with friends, and around my family. But they are often not clear enough for me to understand very well. How can hearing aids help?

A: Even though voices sound loud enough already, you are still missing subtle nuances in speech that help your brain decipher and understand speech more easily and more quickly. Properly programmed hearing aids can fill in what your natural hearing is missing.

With hearing aids on, you will probably notice a small increase in volume. More so, you should notice a distinct increase in vocal clarity and speech distinction to make understanding voices much easier and more comfortable. As your brain re-adjusts to hearing those subtle nuances in speech, you will hear better and better.

The newest hearing aids use the most advanced audio-processors to analyze and improve what you hear. Plus,

many newer hearing aids can be linked to your smart phone and TV for additional clarity and ease of hearing.

Before you make the leap and buy hearing aids, you first need a hearing test to determine if you do indeed have a hearing loss. Find a wellreviewed hearing center and make an appointment.
