Happy 2023!
Like many of us, you’ve probably just finished unwinding from a whirlwind month. That time of year when you put others first — your family, friends, colleagues, community. And good for you. It’s what the holidays are about, right?
But now it’s your turn.
As you begin this brand-new year and prepare for what’s ahead, give yourself permission to make changes that put you first. Changes that make you happier and healthier. It’s the greatest gift you can give yourself and the people around you.
Because when you’re happy and healthy, you can experience every moment to the fullest.
And the best way to get started is so easy — in fact, it’s something you can do right now: Schedule an appointment to get your hearing checked and treat any hearing loss you have.
What better way to start this year than to give yourself the power to live every moment: The moment your loved one’s name is called at graduation. The moment your confidence peaks as you greet your friend at that pizza place you’ve been dying to try. The moment your favorite four-year-old tells you who their #1 superhero is. (Psst, it’s you.)
And who even knew crows could sound like that?
That’s right — a whole year full of new moments and discoveries. And better hearing helps ensure you don't miss a single one of them.
Don’t wait. Seize this moment and contact a hearing care professional for a hearing test and consultation. If it turns out hearing aids can help, they can walk you through your options and help you find the best hearing solution for your unique needs.
Or if you’ve been wearing hearing aids for a while, make 2023 The Year of the Upgrade. You’d be amazed by today’s technology that not only makes hearing effortless, but also gives you the ability to stream audio, translate different languages, customize your programs, and more.
Plus, you deserve it, right?

Today’s hearing fact — from a Consumer Reports survey of more than 120,000 members — is pretty interesting, we think. Hearing tests are painless and you don’t typically have to go out of your way much to take one.
Plus, hearing is one of only five senses we have, and can play a vital role in our quality of life. So, for so few of us to actively stay on top of our hearing health is pretty surprising.
For instance, we can all name intangible good things that go with hearing, like listening to music, watching TV and movies, engaging with friends and family, or how hearing enhances nature, everyday activities and events.
We know — especially now, during this pandemic — how important hearing is to staying socially connected, informed, and feeling safe.
And we also know that untreated hearing loss is linked to social isolation, an increased risk of falls, depression, hospitalizations and even dementia.
All these reasons are why today’s hearing fact is so startling, and why experts recommend adults be screened for hearing every decade through age 50, and at three-year intervals after that.
