Now hear this! Make sure you don't miss a thing...

Imagine hearing the rustle of leaves on an evening walk. The punchline of your grandchild’s joke. The lyrics of your favorite song from decades ago. These aren’t just sounds, they’re moments of connection.

Yet for many of us, hearing loss quietly nudges these moments further out of reach. It often creeps in gradually, and before we know it, we’re nodding through conversations, feeling isolated at family dinners, or turning the volume up louder than ever.


The Real Benefits Go Beyond Hearing

Wearing a hearing aid is about more than just sound:

  • Mental Sharpness: Studies show improved hearing supports cognitive health
  • Social Engagement: Rejoin conversations with clarity and confidence
  • Emotional Well-being: Reduced isolation leads to improved mood and self-esteem
  • Safety: Better hearing helps prevent falls and enhances awareness in everyday situations

Life Is Meant to Be Lived Fully

Choosing to wear a hearing aid is choosing to stay connected, to laugh more, to listen deeply, and to fully engage with the world around you.  Talk with your audiologist or explore options on your own but take that step toward rediscovering all the sounds of life.

Hearing Aids Are Not What They Used to Be

Forget the bulky models of the past. Today’s hearing aids are:

  • Discreet and stylish—some are nearly invisible
  • Smart - many sync with your phone or TV
  • Comfortable - designed for all-day wear
  • Personalized - tailored to your unique hearing profile
  • Affordable - there are options that don't break the bank

When choosing a hearing aid consider size, fit, color, volume control and connectivity to fit your needs and don't forget to use your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account balance if you can!


Consider the easy to use, 🔗Rechargeable Hearing Aid from WASOCA with 5 base levels of volume, Bluetooth connectivity, and 3 noise cancellation modes.  With the optional APP control, you can access nearly unlimited volume control for a more custom hearing experience.  The fashionable design is made to look like you are wearing earbuds.  Visit the 🔗WASOCA Store for additional color options.


The 🔗Rechargeable Hearing Aid from NVBOTY also offers noise cancelling and 5 levels of volume adjustment. This design is compact and nearly invisible.  The shape of the hearing aid is small, and the color is meant to be close to skin tone so it can be well hidden behind the ear.  There is no Bluetooth or App to deal with, making this option easier to use for some people.


The 🔗Supermini, Rechargeable Hearing Aid also from NVBOTY sits solely in the ear so offers a near invisible look.  It has three levels of volume for indoor, outdoor and noisy environments. The hearing amplifier comes with a noise reduction function, which helps to hear the sound better, similar to noise cancelling on other options.  The ergonomic designed, has a non-slip fit and three size options. If you wear earbuds without an ear hook these might be perfect for you.
