By Henry Smith - Founder of America Hears When you are looking to purchase a digital hearing aid, it is important to have an awareness of the many costs that are associated with hearing aid ownership. The cost of owning a digital hearing aid goes beyond simply the cost of the unit or units; it can encompass everything from doctor visits to adjustment costs to return fees and upgrade costs, depending on the hearing aid dealers you are working with. |

By Henry Smith - Founder of America Hears Millions of people in the United States suffer from mild hearing loss, but many avoid scheduling a hearing test to determine the cause. Blane Anderson, CCC-A, senior audiologist for America Hears, notes, “As the baby-boom generation ages, more people are going to be affected by hearing loss. And therefore, in this decade, there is going to be more awareness, simply because of the numbers that are going to experience hearing loss.” However, many of those suffering from mild hearing loss may not yet understand their condition, or may want to dismiss it entirely, despite concerned comments from family and friends. |

By Henry Smith - Founder of America Hears From their size to their shape to they way in which they function, the hearing aid technology that is used today is far different from what hearing aids used 100, 50, or even five years ago. The history of hearing aids is far reaching and colorful – the earliest hearing aids worked without electricity, while the earliest electric models were simply too large to be portable. Today, digital hearing aids are discrete, lightweight, and have the capability to be adjusted for different environments and to amplify sound without distortion. And the future holds many exciting improvements to hearing aid technology as a whole. But it’s important to review the history of hearing aids in order to understand just where the industry is headed. |

We may not expect it, especially considering many of us work towards it for most of our adult life, but retirement can be a challenging and sometimes frustrating experience. For many of us it is the first time in a long time we have had both the financial resources and time freedom to do what we really want. The challenge is . . . we often don’t really know what that is.
We typically know what we don’t want, which is to keep working. So with that as our driving force we take the necessary steps to get to the end of our employment years. However, knowing what we don’t want, and knowing what we do want, is not the same thing. That difference can lead to frustration, depression, and a sense of confusion as we transition into retirement.

Chris and I held a yard sale last weekend. The good news is that we made over $500. The bad news is that it will cost $1500 to repair the damage to our minivan.
See, I think we vision-impaired people depend a lot on our memories. I remember where the stairs are from the last time I fell down them. I remember which section of the drawer the spoons are in--not the forks, which my granddaughter insists she can't eat cereal with. I remember where I leave the remote: on the table to the right of my chair. Heck, I even leave it pointing at the TV so I don't spend precious minutes trying to change the channels on my chest before I realize I'm holding it backwards. A good memory can save time when you don't see well. |
