When you’re working your busy job—whether you’re in an office, on-site, working from home or on the road—how many sounds do you hear that you take for granted? 

The phone ringing, the keyboard clacking, the cars humming, your coworkers chatting… Our hearing is one of the only senses that we cannot “turn off,” unlike our sight or smell. 

When you’re hard at work, you need your hearing to hear the world around you, whether you’re sitting in your home office, working on a construction site or driving to and from work and home. Your hearing helps you stay on task, stay safe and ensure that you’re paying attention with your full capacity. 

Hearing loss, when left untreated, doesn’t just affect your hearing – it slowly starts to deteriorate your balance, your cognition and your memory. Your ears do a lot more for you than just hearing! 

With just one hearing test, you can understand the full capacity of your hearing levels and learn what you need to do to mitigate the risks associated with untreated hearing loss. Treatments include custom hearing protection, annual hearing tests and hearing aids. 

Many hesitate at the idea of wearing hearing aids, fearing looking old or thinking of the bulky, awkward devices their parents or grandparents used to wear.  

Thankfully, today’s prescription hearing technology has come far beyond the beige devices of old! Modern hearing aids are more discreet, more powerful and won’t distract you from doing your job – if anything, they’ll help you do your job better with enhanced hearing. 

From paying better attention in meetings to keeping up with conversations around the water cooler, hearing aids can provide a major boost to your productivity and happiness in and out of the office.  

Even if your hearing loss isn’t to the point of needing hearing aids as a part of your daily routine, a hearing test can bring clarity to your current levels of hearing and allow you to monitor it as time progresses. 

Hearing aids aren’t something to be ashamed of! Rather, think about all the things you hear on a daily basis and how much your life could change if you could hear them better. 

Feeling lost in conversations with coworkers or struggling to keep up in meetings? Hearing aids can help you stay on target and in the loop, so you don’t feel left out because you’re missing parts of sentences. With Bluetooth compatibility, you can even connect your hearing aids to your computer. 

Driving to and from the office is a breeze with optimized hearing; commuting relies on your hearing for your safety, so it’s crucial that you can hear the sounds of the highway you’re driving on (even if we’d rather not hear the honks of other cars sometimes!). 

Increase your productivity, delay retirement, stay connected with your coworkers and more with the power of hearing aids – your professional secret weapon.
