Some people have a knack for finding the perfect gift. Others might need a little assistance. Whichever camp you fall into, let’s look at five excellent gifts for people with hearing loss to help you get your list in order.
Five Helpful Gift Ideas
If your loved one has expressed interest in finding ways to manage their hearing loss or step up their hearing aid game, consider these five items:
- Hearing aids. Hearing aids may seem like an obvious gift, but many people with hearing loss hesitate to try them. In fact, some people wait 10 or more years from the moment they notice hearing loss to the moment they seek help. You can offer to purchase their first pair of hearing aids or accompany them to their first treatment appointment if they prefer.
- Smartwatch. Wearable tech is a helpful tool for people with hearing loss. By wearing a watch that connects to their phone, your loved one can receive vibrating alerts for notifications, alarms and more, reducing their need to carry their phone with them all the time.
- Hearing aid jewelry. Some people worry about how their devices will look. While modern hearing aids are sleeker than ever, hearing aid jewelry turns them into a fashion accessory. Retention jewelry that holds your devices in place is a popular option.
- Electronics case. Hearing aids come with their own case, but purchasing a secondary case, usually available at your local Grapevine electronics store, to hold all their accessories is a great way to help your loved one stay organized.
- Video doorbell. A video doorbell adds a little extra security to your loved one’s life. Rather than worrying about missing package deliveries or guests at the door, they’ll receive an alert on their phone or smartwatch when someone stops by.
If you’re not sure if your loved one would benefit from these, ask them! You can also give them a handmade certificate for one helpful item, so they can choose the one they want most.
