If you are in search of the best gift for a dear senior with hearing aids, this article might give you some ideas
Here is my list of best gift ideas for Christmas to your senior and elderly with hearing aids.
1 - A TV streamer
A TV streamer sends the TV soundtrack straight to the patient's hearing aids. Here is why money spent on a TV streamer is money well spent:
A TV streamer elevates the speech intelligibility of the TV soundtrack
As a result of item 1 above, a TV streamer facilitates a higher level of brain stimulation as the auditory cortex of the listener is more engaged (it removes the need for TV subtitles).
A TV streamer can allow only the listener to hear the TV soundtrack, leaving the rest of the household to be in peace
Please refer to this article about TV streamers and why you should switch off the subtitles.
Where to buy a hearing aid TV streamer?
You can purchase a TV streamer on a lot of online platforms for example Amazon. Here are the items available in our store:
2 - A dehumidifier with UV for hearing aids
A dehumidifier is not a must-have but I'd say it is definitely a good-to-have for people with hearing aids. It keeps the hearing aids dry and disinfects them, so it is highly recommended for people who sweat more than usual or those who are prone to ear infections.
Please see this article that elaborates more on hearing aid dehumidifiers and also provides details about the 3 recommended models.
