Our Hearing Wellness Plan is designed to guide you and allows you to start acting smarter and more involved in the conversation at the very first appointment. You'll find that you can stop worrying about people noticing that you’re wearing hearing aids or that you'll have to spend too much money.
Hey there!
Whether you’re a working professional, stay at home mom or someone who retired from actively working, I'm sure you've heard all of this before.
So, I'll spare you the spiel.
No need to be a broken record and convince you of something that’s already been drilled deep into your consumer's mind. After all, you probably already KNOW that hearing better is the key tipping point that will allow you to use less energy to engage in conversations, improve your mental health, and possibly reduce your chances of developing dementia.
You probably already heard that there are some links between untreated hearing loss with depression as well as dementia.
I'm here to help you lessen these risks. I'd love to work with you!
Warm regards,
Dawn Heiman, AuD
Even if you’re lucky enough to have a family member repeat things for you, hearing aids can...
Even if you feel fine and happy now, once you have successfully been properly fitted with hearing aids can change your perception and authority of conversations skyrockets, allowing you to quickly jump into conversations and engage with others.
It’s invaluable to correctly hear, and understand, someone at the bank, store and doctor’s office. Miscommunication about your health and finances can lead to detrimental side effects, which could be avoided.
Hearing loss can lead to social isolation and depression.
Being involved in activities with others and leading conversations with friends and family helps us connect. And it's an added bonus when we are able to learn about their latest exciting adventures . Priceless.
Perhaps in your most courageous moments you've made the commitment to schedule an appointment.
You’ve researched hearing aids and clinics online, asked your friends and family their opinions, chosen a place to go, gotten all giddy over what benefits hearing better will bring, and maybe even started talking about how great it will be to hear better.
If you’re super committed, maybe you researched your insurance benefits and put some money aside for hearing aids, assuring yourself that you’d use it in the mystical (yet elusive) “someday”.
But even with the best intentions, most would-be patients end up procrastinating calling and allow themselves to remain on the sidelines of conversations the next time they see friends for dinner.
Here’s why this is irreversibly crippling. As an already busy person with large to do lists, people to serve, appointments to attend and maybe even a full time job, you literally can’t afford not to schedule an appointment.
And the longer you wait, the harder it is to continue at the rate you are going.
Therefore, seeing an Audiologist, getting the hearing corrected right the first time is one of the biggest priorities you have.
Once you are hearing better, you will find that all the other things become more manageable. You have more energy. You are more helpful to others. Your daily routine becomes more joyful.
Lucky for you, you are reading this and finding out what most people don’t realize. You will be happier once your hearing is improved.
In all likelihood, you have tried different over the counter amplifiers or TV headphones, that have helped in some ways, but fell short of your needs.
Which means…..
Even if you’re late to the party, there’s still the golden opportunity for you to jump in, correct your hearing (and get back to your normal self).
That is ...it's never too late to start acting younger again and simply hear without stress, worry or anxiety.
Here's the bad stuff
Even though hearing loss effects a massive amount of people around the world- the level of care and expertise in attempting to correct the hearing loss is not an evenly distributed one.
A few people will get GREAT results, while others feel deflated and as if they sort of hear better.
And the main reason for this, as you’ve likely seen by now, is that the barriers to hearing better are relatively LOW….
…..The barriers towards EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION are fairly high.
But as long as you can avoid the biggest blunders that sink most hearing aid wearers, the path is paved for you and your future is bright.
One that allows you to achieve more independence and freedom, happier outlook on life, more social opportunities and the ability to choose what you want to hear and what you don’t want to hear.
The key ingredient to all of this is an Audiologist that knows their stuff!
And with your permission, I’d love to show you how we do it.
You’re ready to achieve your best hearing in years if…
You’re just starting to notice a change in your hearing, you want to reduce your chances of dementia, and you want to NAIL IT right out of the gate with the best elevation and treatment process available to you, that’s easy to follow and won’t break the bank.
You’ve worn hearing aids for years, and the place you purchased them from never seems to know how to make them work for you.
You’ve done your research and you already KNOW which hearing aids you want, but you want to work with an expert with a tried and true system that ensures the best outcome possible.
You have no problem putting in the time to do your auditory rehab exercises, it’s just never been offered to you before.
In fact, you’re ALREADY trying to do listening activities with an app you found, but you’re becoming discouraged because with your “why the heck do I bother” results you’re getting.
You care about how others at work view you and you want to maintain that same level of competence, respect and presence. That's why you believe doing something about your hearing and working with our Hearing Wellness Journey will keep you at your best game for as long as possible.
You are aware of all of the positive outcomes better hearing brings and you’re excited to hear the birds singing again as well as what your date is saying in a fancy restaurant. You can’t wait to get started!
You are aware that we can get started with you as soon as your first appointment. You will walk out of the office hearing better than you have in a long time.
You feel confident in letting us guide you into this exciting improvement in not only your hearing health, but also your psychological and social health.
