Socialize more with less effort this holiday season

Hearing in background noise that includes holiday music, children playing, glasses clinking and more can be especially hard when you have hearing loss. Ask the host to lower the volume on the holiday music and make sure the room is well lit, so you can better see facial expressions.

For those who need additional help, Oticon Opn S™ is the first hearing aid proven to work in harmony with your brain to help you hear better with less effort and remember more of what was said. Opn S provides advantages that even the most sophisticated hearing solutions of today can’t deliver — the ability to manage listening to multiple speakers in noisy environments, like holiday parties with family and friends.

Stay connected during holiday fun

On the go with a full schedule of holiday activities? Put in fresh hearing aid batteries before leaving the house when holiday shopping or traveling, to ensure you never lose power. Also, make sure that your hearing aids are cleaned and performing optimally.

In addition, for Opn S users, the discreet, multipurpose Oticon ConnectClip turns your Opn S hearing aids into a wireless headset for easy, hands-free calls from modern mobile phones. Whether you’re on the road, cooking a holiday meal, or shopping with arms filled with packages, ConnectClip makes it easy for you to stay connected.

Share and hear during holiday traditions

Make meaningful connections with your grandchildren this holiday season. Share a favorite holiday story, bake cookies, decorate the house – whatever makes the holidays special for your family. Help your grandchildren understand that hearing loss can sometimes make it difficult for you to hear them. Simple tips, such as asking them to get your attention first or to turn off the TV, can make communication easier. Also, if sitting at a table, try sitting across from them or at a round table to make communication easier.
