Can Hearing Aids Help Me at Work?

It might surprise you to learn that of the 38 million people in the United States who have some reported level of hearing loss, only one in three have ever sought out professional hearing care or technology to help them hear better.

Improving your hearing with personalized hearing care and assistive technology can help you be more productive in the workplace, hear conversations with your co-workers more clearly, and keep you safe during your commute to and from work.

Many people associate hearing aids and hearing care with outdated stigmas. When you think about hearing aids, you may picture the bulky, obvious hearing aids of the past that your grandparents used to wear.

However, I’m more than happy to tell you that that’s simply not the case anymore. Thanks to modern technology, hearing aids have evolved with the times. Now, these devices are designed to be discreet and non-invasive. Some are totally invisible to the naked eye!

Even if you don’t yet need hearing aids, keeping tabs on your hearing health can help in more ways than one. When you have a good understanding of your hearing health and how it can affect the rest of your body, you’ll be able to take proactive steps to protect your health for years to come. Booking your first hearing assessment can be scary, but our team at Cornerstone Audiology is here to show you that booking one will do more good than harm.

How Can a Hearing Assessment Benefit Me?

Cornerstone Audiology’s comprehensive hearing tests are in-depth and detailed examinations of your ears and your hearing and how they impact your day-to-day life.

Hearing is an integral part of moving about life and completing daily tasks. Whether you’re driving, working, or even walking the dog, being able to hear what’s going on around you will help you feel happier and more confident, and most of all, it will help keep you safe.

Hearing assessments and proper hearing care are proven to help people get back to work and improve productivity in and out of the office. I’ve seen plenty of people come in for their first assessment feeling nervous, but when they leave, there’s a palpable sense of relief in the air as they know they can return to work feeling more confident than ever. Think about it: if you can hear your boss give you a task and understand it properly the first time, you can get it done faster – another step closer to Friday!

With the right hearing loss treatment, meetings and work socials will be a breeze. Imagine being able to hear your colleague crack a joke from the opposite end of the table. Whether the joke is funny or not, it’s less isolating than missing it altogether.

If you commute to and from your workplace, hearing care will allow you to be a more conscious and present driver on the road. From blinkers clicking, horns honking, and engines humming, there are so many sounds you need to be aware of to stay safe in traffic.

Hearing care and hearing aids can be a huge help for many people struggling with missing instructions at work and falling behind as a result. If that sounds like you—or if you’d prefer that not to be you—then investing in professional hearing care and assistive technology could be the right option for you.
