Don’t Miss The Magic

A simple hearing test could help you enjoy Christmas fun and festivitie­s to the full

-

Gradual hearing loss is one of the most common problems affecting us as we age. You may not even realise how much it’s impacting your day-to-day life, like constantly having to ask people to repeat themselves.

Worries about not being able to hear properly can even discourage you from joining in with social gatherings – and at this time of year that could mean you’re missing out on family get-togethers and other joyful Christmas events.

There’s no need to be embarrasse­d about it. One in six* of us are affected in this way. So don’t put up with hearing loss or allow it to alter the way you live. You can have a quick check at your local Specsavers Audiologis­ts. It only takes three minutes and there’s no need for an appointmen­t – just pop into your local store and ask a member of staff. This will indicate if you’d benefit from a full test.

Once you’ve had your full hearing test, if there’s a level of loss in either ear, you can choose from a wide variety of neat and discreet hearing aids to suit your lifestyle. You’ll be surprised at the difference they can make.

From candlelit carol services and grandchild­ren’s nativity plays, to drinks with friends or family feasts, make sure you’re ready to enjoy everything the festive season has to offer – and hear every word.
