Check your hearing aid batteries before trick-or-treating

 

Before heading out to trick-or-treat, insert new hearing aid batteries so you or your loved ones don’t miss a minute of the scary good times. If you wear hearing aids with rechargeable batteries, be sure your hearing aids are fully charged.

Oticon rechargeable hearing aids provide a full day of battery life* without the hassle of handling batteries. Watch how easy it is to charge your hearing aids overnight in the easy-to-use charger.

*Lithium-ion performance varies depending on hearing loss, lifestyle and streaming behavior.

Tips for protecting hearing aids against the cold weather

 

If there is frost on the pumpkins in your neighborhood, you’ll want to keep ears covered with a hat or ear warmers. Avoid ear coverings that put pressure on your hearing aids, and be sure you can hear well with your cold weather gear in place. This is especially important for youngsters who need to stay with the group and listen for directions.

When Halloween fun gets frightfully loud

 

As excited ghosts and witches get dancing and talking, noise levels can steadily rise. When you have hearing loss, background noise and competing voices make it difficult for you to join in the fun. Oticon hearing aids feature BrainHearing™ technology that improves your ability to hear and manage multiple speakers even in the most challenging environments — like a spooktacular Halloween party.

Smart Halloween hearing aid safety tips

 

Whether you’re outfitting a big or little goblin with hearing loss, keep these Halloween safety tips in mind. Consider opting for non-toxic face paint instead of a mask so vision isn’t impeded. You’ll also avoid irritation from feedback caused by masks rubbing against hearing aids. Adjusting masks or decorative hats and crowns can dislodge hearing aids. For added security against loss or damage as you make your rounds, consider Oticon SafeLine™ that attaches hearing aids to collars with a clip.
