HearingLife Launches #HearingGain Campaign in Celebration of World Hearing Day
Hearing care leader helps people focus on what they gain by treating hearing loss
SOMERSET, N.J., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HearingLife, a leader in delivering life-changing hearing care, today announced the kickoff of the #HearingGain campaign to mark World Hearing Day and help people discover the value of their hearing and the power of life-changing hearing care — from renewed connections with loved ones to improved mood and confidence. Underscoring the meaning of #HearingGain, more than 1,000 HearingLife customers surveyed* overwhelmingly reported less hearing effort (92%), improved social interactions (92%), and improved activity level (82%) as a result of using hearing aids to treat their hearing loss.
"We are excited to launch our new campaign on World Hearing Day and raise awareness of the steps people can take both to protect their hearing and to address hearing loss, which can begin at different stages of life," said Dr. Leslie Soiles, Chief Audiologist at HearingLife. "This call to action is especially important during the pandemic, as masks impact the ability for many people with hearing loss to communicate or read lips, while others may be noticing their own hearing loss for the first time. This can further contribute to the social isolation many people are feeling, and we want them to know there is so much to be gained by addressing hearing loss with the right care."
A critical part of the #HearingGain campaign is education and that begins with understanding how to identify hearing loss. While it is recommended that adults age 60 and over receive regular hearing testing as part of their annual health routines and checkups, the experts at HearingLife encourage people to recognize the signs of hearing loss as early as possible in order to provide timely care. Dr. Soiles offers these top five signs and symptoms of hearing loss:
- Asking others to others to repeat themselves
- Inability to hear voices clearly over the phone
- Turning up the volume on the TV loud enough to disturb others
- Noticing a continuous ringing in your ear
- Having trouble following a conversation in a noisy environment
"I really wish I had had my hearing checked a long time ago. My quality of life is just so much better now. It's like everything opened up to me, like I had been asleep. It's changed my whole life," said Michael Cave, HearingLife customer from Shrewsbury, MA.
