Recognize hearing problems

Excuse me?

• Do you have to ask more often because you heard something but didn't understand it correctly?
• Do you or those closest to you increasingly notice that you understand less well in certain situations?

Then it may be that your hearing has decreased. Take these observations seriously and find out if you are right, even if it takes a bit of effort.

Don't wait too long. This is because your brain is significantly involved in hearing. If the brain receives only weak acoustic signals over a longer period of time, it has to "start all over again" to learn to hear and understand. In other words, if you choose hearing instruments in time, a hearing instrument fitting will achieve better results.

With a Free hearing test in one of our branches of HZ Hörmittelzentrale Nordwestschweiz you can find out for yourself, easily and without obligation, whether the moment has come to consider buying a hearing system. Please also have a look at the brochure Around the hearing aid of the Hard of Hearing Association of Northwestern Switzerland.

Recognizing the perception of hearing problems is an important step in finding the support you need. However, it is equally critical to act quickly when you notice signs of hearing problems. Your brain plays an instrumental role in hearing, and if it receives only weak acoustic signals over a long period of time, it can begin to lose the ability to hear and understand.

This means that the sooner you choose hearing instruments, the better your chances of achieving positive results. With modern hearing instruments, you can not only improve your hearing, but also help your brain adapt to the world of sound more quickly and effectively.

We recommend that you don't wait too long and arrange a free hearing test at one of our HZ Hörmittelzentrale Nordwestschweiz branches. Such a test is simple and non-binding, and will allow you to determine if the time has come to look into purchasing a hearing aid. The decision for better hearing can enrich your life in many ways.

For more information and helpful resources on the topic of hearing aids, we also recommend that you take a look at the brochure "Rund um das Hörgerät" ("All about hearing aids") published by the Schwerhörigen-Verein Nordwestschweiz. Here you will find useful tips and advice on improving your hearing and choosing the right hearing aid.
