In this article, we'll look at steps you can take to begin accepting that your hearing might not be what it once was.

It's always best to let the professionals assess your hearing, but I get it, sometimes it takes a little more convincing before you're ready to take the next step and schedule an appointment with an audiologist.

I want to make sure you know where to begin if you're fed up and ready to make a life-giving change. I also include a few self-assessment tests I recommend and trust to help you in this process.

Now you may still be cringing at the idea and reluctant to entertain the thought of figuring out how to actually use technology in this way, but let me assure you, it’s easier than it seems. And if you try it, well, you might just like it.

My business model for the last 17 years has been all about serving you in your hearing place. Getting to interact with you while assessing your hearing needs is the highlight of the job for me and I know the feeling is mutual. Social distancing has stolen this joy from us - Lord willing it will be short-lived.

But I have to admit, being forced into the 21st century’s technology has been a game-changer for me personally and professionally. Humor me a moment and I’ll show you why I think you might just come to embrace it too.
