Statistically speaking, half of grandparents and great-grandparents have significant hearing loss. So do about one in 10 of the aunts, uncles, or adult friends ages 55 to 64. Plus, we know that among adults exposed to loud noise—at work or in everyday life—about one in five has a hard time hearing speech. This can be a real hindrance to enjoying the holidays when all we want to do is connect with one another and share life’s joys.
Hear Well Over the Holidays
I remind myself to not freak out because I’m afraid I’m missing out on conversations—just relax and enjoy the food and good cheer. Nobody at the Thanksgiving table can follow every conversation anyway!
