I felt led to pass this along in case anyone in your orbit is struggling with hearing loss b/c of the transformative results for my sweet ol dad. He had withdrawn from the world more and more the past several years as he simply couldn't hear with his old hearing aids any longer. He finally tried Phonak branded hearing aids and what a difference. Talking on the phone was so painful for him we'd get 90 seconds and he'd have to hang up. Now that his earbuds link to his iphone he's calling me 3x a day just to talk. He has a bluetooth base dock that connects to the tv and beams tv to his earbuds.....at his own volume so mom doesn't have to endure volume on 10 or inversely that dad can't hear at mom's levels.
Anyway we were probably the last to know that such tech existed, but in the event you or a loved one has these issues I'd look at Phonak. I know there are several other great brands out there too. So fun to see my dad and my mom able to converse now. I am very protective of my hearing and double up with squishys and ear muffs even with a suppressor and don't know if the hearing loss will be hereditary, but I'm glad to know such tech is out there. Take care of those ears! Dad was in the Army and the idea of hearing protection.....well.....yea not so much back then. Take care of those ears because we know better nowadays!
