The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders<\/a> reports that \u201cOne in eight people in the United States (13 percent, or 30 million) aged 12 years or older has hearing loss<\/a> in both ears.\u201d If you\u2019re one of these numbers, you may be feeling a little apprehensive about Valentine\u2019s Day. Below we review how to have the best Valentine\u2019s Day with your date or partner.<\/p>\n\n\n

Plan a Quiet Meal<\/h2>\n\n

A popular Valentine\u2019s Day activity is going out to dinner. But doing so, especially on such a widely celebrated holiday, is a very challenging listening situation for someone with hearing loss. To combat this, we recommend a Valentine\u2019s breakfast or lunch or going to dinner before or after the dinner rush. When you go, ask for a table in the corner away from the kitchen and waiter\u2019s station. As an alternative, you could also pick up some delicious food from the grocery store and enjoy cooking together at home.<\/p>\n\n\n

Plan a Trip<\/h2>\n\n\n

Instead of going out for a meal, another option is to go on a weekend trip somewhere quiet, peaceful and relaxing. This place could be somewhere far away or even close by. Some hotels have spas, so you can enjoy some Valentine\u2019s Day pampering together.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bring Your Hearing Aids & Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re going out to eat or making a trip somewhere, make sure you have your hearing aids and any other necessary supplies with you. Your hearing aids<\/a> will amplify important sounds, including your partner\u2019s voice, to a level you can easily hear, and extra batteries will ensure you won\u2019t be left without hearing. If you\u2019re going out overnight, make sure you also pack your cleaning supplies so your hearing aids will be functioning optimally.<\/p>\n\n\n

See Your Audiologist<\/h2>\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t yet own hearing aids or if you think yours need to be reprogrammed, make sure you get in to see your audiologist at Kampsen Hearing<\/span> before Valentine\u2019s Day so that you\u2019re ready to hear your best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
