Better Together: Make Hearing Health a Family Affair

When was the last time you got your hearing tested?

If you’re like most Americans, it was likely elementary or middle school, which means as an adult, you’re overdue. Going home for the holidays may be a perfect time to drive your parents to a hearing center to get their hearing tested, but you might consider being the first one in the testing booth. The test is easy, painless, and if you’re near a Sam’s Club, you can get tested for free – and get hearing aids – in the same day. Lucid Hearing has hearing centers in more than 500 Sam’s Club locations nationwide. Finding one near you (or near your parents’ home) is just as easy as the hearing test itself.

Beyond finding out if you need hearing support, taking your parent or parents with you to get tested is a big win if you suspect they have hearing loss. Present yourself as the example of how easy it is to get tested and use the opportunity to stress the importance of getting hearing aids if needed. If you take the lead, they’re more likely to step into the hearing booth after you. From start to finish, testing can be done in under an hour.

about 28 million U.S. adults can benefit from hearing aids

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders reports that about 28 million U.S. adults can benefit from hearing aids. The same agency reports that age is the strongest predictor of hearing loss among adults aged 20-69, with the greatest amount of hearing loss in the 60 to 69 age group.

Jenifer Stoltz, territory vice president for Lucid Hearing, encourages adult children to take the steps needed to talk to their parents about hearing loss and go with them to get tested – sooner rather than later.

“A lot of them [older parents] think, ‘It’s not so bad, I can get by. I’ll just turn up the TV,’ or they’ll say, ‘Well, it’s that person’s fault, they don’t speak clearly,’ ” Stoltz says. “They start rationalizing why they don’t hear well. This is when it’s crucial to have a third party there, like a son or daughter, or a trusted caregiver, to help navigate the conversation and help mom or dad realize all the sounds they’re missing and how much more improved their quality of life could be if they could hear better.” 

Never been easier than now

To make this family journey to hearing health even easier, recently the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. These hearing devices are for those with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, and they can be purchased without a hearing test and without a prescription. The FDA’s intent is to make hearing aids more accessible and more affordable to the millions of Americans who need hearing support. Stoltz says OTC hearing aids are a wonderful opportunity for people to get help sooner, and therefore aid in the preservation of speech understanding.

“The longer people wait to get help, the longer and sometimes harder, the transition is to using hearing aids,” Stoltz notes. “The same is true for speech understanding. The longer you wait to get help, it becomes unlikely that you’ll regain some of the speech understanding that has been lost due to hearing loss.” Learn more about loss of speech understanding and its correlation to hearing loss.

Stoltz also emphasizes that while OTC hearing aids can be purchased without first going through a hearing test, she highly recommends getting tested anyway.

“Getting tested is easy, and it’s the best way to accurately determine your level of hearing loss. Not everyone is a candidate for OTC. If your hearing loss falls into a more severe range, it’s best for you to get prescription hearing aids,” Stoltz says. “It’s really important to get what is going to work best for you and help you hear with clarity. If you buy OTC hearing aids, but you actually need prescription aids, then you’ll get frustrated and perhaps just end up thinking that the hearing aids don’t work, or worse, that nothing will work for you.” Learn more about the difference between OTC hearing aids versus prescription. Lucid Hearing offers OTC and prescription hearing aids online, in Sam’s Club locations, and in other retail stores across the country.
