When did you last use your hearing aids? Were you at home, in the car or at a specific location like a park or restaurant? Taking a moment to reflect can narrow down the possibilities and save time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start with high-traffic areas.<\/strong> Hearing aids often turn up in places where you spend the most time. Check your desk, couch, around your bed and anywhere else you can think of.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expand your search. <\/strong>If the hearing aids aren\u2019t in plain sight, broaden your search. Look under furniture or between cushions, along baseboards and in laundry baskets. They\u2019re bound to turn up somewhere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a fresh set of eyes.<\/strong> Ask for help from a friend or family member. Another person may notice details you overlooked or help you double-check areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use your smartphone app. <\/strong>Many modern hearing aids come equipped with tracking technology. Open the companion app on your smartphone to check for a \u201clocate\u201d option. This feature can help identify their last recorded location or guide you to them if they\u2019re nearby.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you finish all five steps and still can\u2019t find your devices, contact <span class=\"company-name \">Kampsen Hearing<\/span> for your next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prepare-for-the-future\">Prepare for the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found your hearing aids (or replaced them), take a few precautions to avoid misplacing them again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set a routine. <\/strong>Always store them in a specific spot, like a bedside drawer or a storage case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/kampsenhearing.com\/hearing-aids\/accessories\/\">accessories<\/a>.<\/strong> Use a retention clip or lanyard to keep them secure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider a tracker. <\/strong>Attach a small tracker to your case, or consider hearing aids with built-in find-my-device features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nidcd.nih.gov\/health\/statistics\/quick-statistics-hearing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">28.8 million U.S. adults<\/a> could <a href=\"https:\/\/kampsenhearing.com\/hearing-aids\/benefits-of-hearing-aids\/\">benefit from the clear communication<\/a> hearing aids provide.
