Give yourself or a loved one the gift of better hearing

- Karen Rice NWA DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE

The holidays are coming, and with them family gatherings and festive social events. Wouldn’t it be enjoyable to hear every conversati­on and not struggle to keep up? Just in time, Blue Wave Hearing is offering a special “Hear for the Holidays” promotion.

Customers can come to the office and get fit with new hearing devices on a free, noobligati­on trial basis over the four to six -week holiday season. It’s great if you already wear hearing aids and just want to try something more sophistica­ted, or if you’ve been sitting on the fence about wearing hearing devices and are ready to see what a difference they could make.

Blue Wave regularly offers a “Hearing Aid Test Drive” throughout the year, but this event is special, as they are tripling their standard two-week trial period to accommodat­e the full six week holiday season. The promotion is absolutely free with no risk: there’s no check credit, no down payment, and absolutely no obligation to keep the devices beyond the holiday season.

“We simply want to give our community a chance to hear their family and friends more clearly at a time when it matters most—over the holiday season,” Blue Wave audiologis­t Dr. Beth Muller points out.

“Early detection of hearing loss is an important step in the right direction, but so too is early adoption of technology that keeps your brain sharp and your relationsh­ips running smoothly.” Dr. Muller continues. “Untreated hearing loss has been correlated not only with dementia and memory loss, but also with depression and social withdrawal, so starting early is the best medicine for both your long term memory, as well as your self esteem and social preservati­on.”

Today’s hearing technology is changing and improving daily. Gone are the cumbersome and complicate­d hearing aids of the past. Today’s small, discreet devices feature advances like Blue Tooth streaming to your mobile device, rechargeab­le batteries that last up to four years, GPS tracking and more. Imagine walking into your favorite restaurant as your device automatica­lly adjusts to the noise levels for the setting. That’s the kind of technology that will truly change your life.

What are you waiting for? Call Blue Wave for a free no-obligation hearing exam. If you are a candidate for hearing devices, they will fit them and send you out the door the same day, often within the hour. You’ll take the hearing aids home and try them out in your daily life. You’ll “check in” after two weeks so Blue Wave audiologis­ts can make sure the devices fit well and are comfortabl­e, but also to make adjustment­s to sound, volume, or clarity to help fine tune them to your preference­s. After that, you don’t have to report back until the full six week trial has ended, which would likely be in late December or January.

Dr. Muller points out that the real “gift” is often for the spouse of the family members of the patient with hearing loss.

“Often the spouses rejoice, as they no longer have to field phone calls or act as the interprete­r for the hard of hearing patient,” she says. “The most remarkable change that is noted in the household is the ‘turning down of the TV.’ That’s the number one ‘relief.’”

The never been a better time to gift yourself and your loved ones and “hear” for the holidays.
