Fall in Tulsa is packed with tons of fun events. You could see The Phantom of the Opera at the Chapman Music Hall, catch a concert at the BOK Center or check out the Art Deco icons that cover our city on a walking tour. For the more than 15% of U.S. adults with hearing loss, hearing aids are a helpful tool that can make all those fall events even more special. But to achieve that fall perfection, you need to make sure your devices are well cared for.
If you wear hearing aids, scheduling your biannual service appointment is one way to ensure you experience all these events more fully.
Service Appointments Help Hearing Aids Function at Their Best
Just as oil changes help your car run smoother, service appointments keep your hearing aids functioning at their best. Between service appointments, even with nightly cleaning, your devices can accumulate oil, wax and dirt, which can clog the microphone and speaker and potentially degrade sound quality. Built-up moisture can also damage the internal components of your devices, cause unclear sound or even shorten their lifespan.
During your service appointment, we’ll deep-clean your devices, remove built-up moisture and double-check their settings to ensure they continue to meet your needs. We may conduct a second hearing test if your devices haven’t been working as well as they used to; it’s possible that your hearing loss has progressed past the original programming on your devices.
Enjoying Clearer Sound This Fall
If your hearing aids haven’t been working as well as they used to, or it’s been more than six months since their last service, contact Eastern Oklahoma Ear Nose and Throat – Yale Office to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists. We’ll get your hearing aids working well again so you can enjoy every musical, concert, tour, festival and so much more that Tulsa’s fall has to offer.
