We spend time in different listening environments every day. From quiet mornings sipping coffee on your porch to nights spent out with friends at Barsa Tapas Lounge & Bar<\/a>. If you use hearing aids<\/a>, it\u2019s important to know how to maximize your listening experience in any environment.<\/p>\n Human beings are social creatures and so we spend a lot of time interacting with others. In a study that observed the amount of time hearing aid users spent in different listening environments, researchers found that participants spent an average of 57% of their time in conversation.<\/a><\/p>\n Because conversation is such a big part of our everyday life, hearing aid users need to make sure their device can help them connect with others whenever they go, including in noisy environments. To that end, features like direction microphones, wireless capabilities and noise reduction settings on hearing aids can be extremely helpful.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re at an important meeting or event for work, you need to know you can hear clearly so that you don\u2019t miss out on any vital information. You can do your best to try and sit closer to the speaker or face whoever is speaking to utilize visual cues. However, you can also use features like directional microphones to help focus on the speaker.<\/p>\n Additionally, if you are attending an event in a larger auditorium or similar area, check and see if the location has a hearing loop. Hearing loops use electromagnetic energy to transmit sound directly into your hearing aid using telecoil in the device as a receiver. If your hearing aid is enabled with telecoil, you can turn it on to hear clear sound directly into your device.<\/p>\nTalking in Noisy Environments <\/h2>\n
