Can we avoid hearing aids?

Hearing aids can be avoided but if you take proper care of your ears.
1.    If you are using any walkman / iPod / anything, turn it up.  This is because, you can now listen music better, even though that makes your hearing worse.
2.    Keep your ears clean i.e. possibly check for wax
3.    TV and Radios have to be turned up.  This may annoy the people but it’s your hearing, in any case.
4.    Tell people not to mumble – they’ll tell you they’re not mumbling but you know that they should speak clearly.
5.    Sometimes you may not be able to hear the TV, you can ask someone to help you for the better understanding.
6.    Try to lip-read, if you do not know learn this art to understand what the other person says.
7.    If you miss any words, ask the person to repeat it.
Once we decide to buy the hearing aid, select the branded products which are available in the market such as Siemens hearing aids, Betlone, Phonak, Oticon and Resound Hearing Aids.
