With one out of every five individuals in the United States battling with some form of hearing loss, there’s a good chance you know at the least one person who has some trouble hearing.
And bearing in mind the potent links amongst healthy hearing and physical, mental, and social well-being, the holiday season is the optimal chance to give a highly meaningful gift.
If you do know someone with hearing loss, here are some fantastic gift ideas:
A Year’s Provision of Hearing Aid Batteries
Do you know anyone who actually likes shopping for batteries?
We don’t either.
Still, hearing aids won’t accomplish much without the batteries, making them a requirement. By furnishing a year’s supply of hearing aid batteries, you can remove the burden and cost associated with the work of managing the supply.

Custom Ear Protection
Are you shopping for any musicians? Any hunters in the household?
The gift of custom ear protection could protect against hearing injury and future hearing loss. And in contrast to the cheap foam earplugs sold at the convenience store, custom earplugs are especially built to control hazardous sounds while conserving the important sounds. This removes the “muffled” sound associated with foam earplugs.
Call us for more information about custom ear protection.
Hearing Aid Accessories
All hearing aids mandate routine maintenance and cleaning to assure extended, optimum performance. And while this can’t be averted, it can be made a whole lot easier.
Here are some gift ideas to make hearing aid maintenance and cleaning easier:
- Hearing aid sanitizers make use of ultraviolet light to safely and comprehensively kill hazardous pathogens, such as harmful bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and molds.
- Hearing aid dehumidifiers eliminate excessive moisture and increase the life of the components of the hearing aids.
- Hearing aid multi-tools feature a magnet for battery removal in addition to other tools to clean the various parts of a hearing aid. This is the swiss army knife of hearing aid tools.
- Hearing aid storage cases can protect the hearing aids when not in use and can make transport easier.

Streamers
This is a favorite gift idea, as these devices turn a pair of hearing aids into a set of high-quality earphones.
Streamers are devices that will detect an audio signal—from a computer, TV, or other device—and will deliver the signal straight to the hearing aids for crystal clear sound.
Wireless Operation
Are you aware that numerous hearing aid models can be controlled with mobile electronic devices such as cell phones and digital watches?
A smartphone or digital watch is a tremendous gift in the first place, but for those with hearing loss, it’s better yet. Together with compatible hearing aids, you can subtly control hearing aid volume and can change the settings straight from the portable device.
This is one function that, once you have it, you’ll never go without it again. Give us a call and we’ll inform you of which hearing aids are compatible with which devices.
Hearing Aids
Last but not least, if you feel like going all out this year, how about giving the ultimate gift of hearing—a pair of digital hearing aids.
Keep in mind, you can’t just go out and purchase a pair of hearing aids. Each person’s hearing loss is unique and requires a hearing test, not to mention that each individual will have distinct preferences in terms of hearing aid style and functionality.
But presenting a gift card to cover the expense could prompt someone to at long last buy the hearing aids they know will ultimately contribute to a greater overall quality of life.
And just how many gifts can accomplish that?
