“I Can Hear You Just Fine” – The Silent Struggle of Hearing Loss & How to Fix It
“Dad, you didn’t hear a word I just said, did you?”
He smiles, nods, and fakes his way through the conversation. You know he didn’t catch a thing. It’s becoming more common—turning up the TV too loud, misunderstanding words, or worse, pulling away from conversations altogether.
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Not just for him, but for you, too.
Hearing loss doesn’t just affect the person struggling—it affects their entire world.
If you’re a senior who has noticed that voices sound muffled, group conversations are exhausting, or you’re constantly saying “What?”—you’re not alone. And if you’re an adult child who feels like you’re constantly repeating yourself or watching your parent withdraw, you’re not imagining things.
The truth is, most people wait 7 to 10 years before doing anything about their hearing loss. And by then? The damage is done—connections fade, relationships strain, and social isolation creeps in.
But what if fixing it was easier than you thought?
Introducing Hearing Aids 101: A No-Pressure Guide to Hearing Better
📅 Date: Thursday, May 22
Time: 10:00 – 10:30 a.m.
Location: Benedictine Living Community – Regina, Chapel Lobby
1175 Nininger Road, Hastings, MN 55033
We’re hosting a completely free, no-pressure event designed to give you or your loved one a fresh perspective on hearing loss and the solutions available.
Why This Event Will Change the Way You Think About Hearing Aids
- They’re NOT What They Used to Be: Forget the big, clunky devices of the past. Today’s hearing aids are small, discreet, and smart—some even connect to your phone!
- Hearing Loss is About More Than Just Volume: Research shows that untreated hearing loss increases the risk of dementia, depression, and falls—but improving hearing can reverse many of these risks.
- Stronger Relationships, Less Frustration: Imagine hearing every word of your grandchild’s story. Imagine laughing at a joke the first time, instead of nodding and pretending. This is what better hearing can do.
Your Guide: Rachel Allgor, Au.D. of Journey Audiology & Hearing Care
Rachel will break down common myths and answer questions like:
✅ Will hearing aids really help, or is it too late?
✅ What’s the difference between cheap amplifiers and real hearing aids?
✅ How do I know if I actually need them?
Bonus: Enjoy free snacks and refreshments while you learn in a welcoming, pressure-free environment.
The Hardest Part? Saying Yes.
Let’s be honest—no one wants to admit they need hearing aids.
Maybe you’ve told yourself:
- “I hear fine—it’s just that people mumble.”
- “I’ll wait until it gets worse.”
- “Hearing aids are ugly and uncomfortable.”
Or maybe you’ve tried convincing a parent to get checked, only to hear:
- “I don’t need them!”
- “They’re too expensive.”
- “I’ll just turn up the volume.”
The real question isn’t “Should I go?”
It’s:
🔹 What if I miss out on another year of conversations?
🔹 What if this is the key to reconnecting with my family?
🔹 What if it’s easier than I thought?
