Hearing loss is common among older adults, making hearing aids a necessity. However, some people who are hard of hearing may feel embarrassed or ashamed about wearing a hearing aid, even though it can improve their quality of life. If you have a loved one who is reluctant to wear a hearing aid, try these tips to help you broach the subject with them.
HIGHLIGHT IMMEDIATE BENEFITS
Hearing aids do more than enhance hearing. They can also improve environmental awareness and help individuals maintain better balance. Remind your loved one that these devices allow them to retain their independence and mobility.
EMPHASIZE SOCIAL VALUES
People who hear better can engage more fully in social settings. Tell your loved one that, during family gatherings and get-togethers with friends, their ability to feel connected is important to you. This may help them to realize that hearing aids will help them maintain meaningful relationships with the people in their life.
