…but have you checked your hearing yet? šŸ˜‰

Santa’s not the only one keeping track this season… make sure you’re on the list to get your hearing checked!

It’s always exciting fitting someone with amplification for the first time in front of a loved one. There was this one moment during a hearing aid fitting this week, the patient turned to his wife, heard her clearly, and they both just paused and smiled.
No words needed. That look said, ā€œHey! You’re back.ā€
It never gets old seeing these little wins up close.

Have you ever seen this happen to a friend or family member?

Large family gatherings are supposed to be full of laughter, stories, and connection. However, for people with even a mild hearing loss, it can be very hard.

During a recent consult, a couple shared this with me:
ā€œHow did your wife hear during that birthday party dinner?ā€
ā€œShe doesn’t do well, she usually nods like she can hear and then asks me about it in the car ride homeā€¦ā€

Let's just say she didn’t challenge his comment.

Moments like this remind us how isolating hearing loss can feel. People often stay quiet, smile, and nod rather than ask for repeats. They’re trying not to be a burden, but missing out on the joy of connection in the process.

One of the amazing gifts of hearing is the ability to tell different pitches (aka frequencies šŸ¤“) apart…something we often take for granted! šŸ‘‚āœØ

Think about it:

šŸ”” The high-pitched jingle of sleigh bells vs. the deep ā€œHo Ho Hoā€ of Santa’s laugh
ā›„ļø The delicate chime of a snow globe vs footsteps stomping through fresh snow
šŸŽ„Tiny ornaments clinking as you hang them on the tree vs the rumble of a holiday train set around the tree

🧠 Our brains help us distinguish all these sounds, letting us fully enjoy every festive moment.
If you’ve noticed it’s harder to pick out these details (or conversations get ā€œblurryā€ in noisy rooms), consider scheduling a hearing check before the end of the year!

Myth: Louder is better.
Fact: Clarity is key.

It’s a common misconception that people with hearing loss just need others to ā€œspeak up.ā€ But here’s the truth šŸ‘‡

šŸ‘‚Hearing loss doesn’t just make sounds quieter…it makes speech distorted and muffled. That means even if someone shouts, the words may still sound unclear or jumbled.

So instead of raising your voice, try:
šŸ’¬ Facing the person directly
šŸ‘„ Speaking clearly (not exaggerated)
šŸ“ŗ Reducing background noise when possible

At Falls Hearing, we hope to equip you with tools to thrive this holiday season. And if you or someone you love feels like voices sound mumbly, unclear, or that everyone’s talking too fast, it might be time for a hearing check. Because communication isn’t about volume, it’s about understanding.

šŸŽ¶ Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Fun fact: ā€œHarkā€ actually means LISTEN! šŸ‘‚

So when the angels are singing (or the kids are sneaking cookies before dinner šŸ˜), make sure you’re actually hearing it ALL!

✨ It’s the most wonderful time of the yEAR! (See what I did there?) šŸ˜‰

I often mention… this season is full of sound and for those with hearing loss, all that joyful noise can sometimes feel… isolating.

When conversations blend into background chatter, it’s easy to feel left out, even in a crowded room. So keep an eye out for any loved ones who are starting to withdraw at holiday gatherings.

Let us know if you need any tips for having a conversation with someone who has hearing loss at a family gathering. We are happy to help!

Be honest, šŸ˜‰ have you been missing the sound of sleigh bells, doorbells, or even your oven timer lately?

If you’re thinking ā€œHmm… maybe,ā€ it might be time to get your hearing checked before the holidays are in full swing!

The holidays are loud cooking, chatter, clinking dishes, and maybe even a few toy drums!

If you can’t quite catch the punchline at the party or keep saying ā€œWhat?ā€ more than ā€œWow!ā€, it might be time to check one more thing off your list… šŸ‘‚

šŸŽ Because let’s be honest, the gift of hearing well? Totally priceless.

So before the season gets underway, please reach out to us to schedule your hearing check.

It’s one gift that keeps on giving (and doesn’t need a return receipt šŸ˜‰).

šŸŽµ All I want for Christmas… is CLAAAARITY!

šŸŽ¶ā€œI don’t want a lot for Christmas
there is just one thing I need…
To hear the laughter, songs, and stories crystal clear and joyfully!ā€ šŸ‘‚

šŸŽ Because let’s be honest…hearing the moments that matter beats any gift under the tree.

šŸ‘‚ If your hearing feels a little fuzzy, it might be time to check that list (and your hearing) twice.
