You’re probably familiar with the feeling of impending doom that begins settling in when the holidays are right around the corner, but you still haven’t decided what presents to buy for those close to you. Picking a thoughtful gift for your loved one with hearing loss can sometimes be an even greater challenge: perhaps you’d like to give them something that would make their life on the deafness spectrum slightly easier, but you’re not quite sure what that ‘something’ is.
There is no reason to worry, though- we’re here to help! In honor of the upcoming holiday season, we’ve put together a list of 5 excellent present ideas for those with hearing loss to help you pick a gift that would make your loved one’s daily life a bit easier, while making them feel valued and loved.
1. TV Streamer
People with hearing loss often struggle to enjoy watching TV either because they’re unable to hear it very well, or because they tend to turn the volume up to a level nobody else can comfortably tolerate.
Hearing Aid Accessory offer a wide selection of TV streamers, specially created to enable your loved one on the deafness spectrum stream television audio directly into their hearing aids. This lets them enjoy a high-quality listening experience while having the option to control the volume of the audio transmitted into their aids independently from the TV speakers’ sound. Simply perfect!

2. Vibrating Alarm Clock
Waking up on time is an important part of almost everyone’s daily routine. While those unimpacted by hearing loss can simply set an alarm, this is not the case for people on the deafness spectrum.
Fortunately, there are alarm clocks specially created to help those with hearing loss wake up by using a combination of loud sound, vibrations, and lights. The perfect gift to ensure you loved one’s days start right!

3. Wireless Microphone
Hearing well in noisy environments can be a great challenge for hearing aid wearers. This is because hearing aids are not always able to filter out background noise from sounds the user is attempting to hear, like people’s voices. This can create great difficulty with communication in places such as restaurants, offices, the gym, etc.
The good news is that thanks to technological developments, there are now wireless microphones available that can entirely change the way in which your loved one with hearing loss interacts with others. Expertly eliminating background noise, these intelligent devices stream the voice(s) of one or multiple speakers directly into the user’s hearing aids, making communication enjoyable and effortless once again. A true game changer for individuals with hearing loss!

4. Doorbell Alerting System
Being able to hear the doorbell, as well as remain vigilant of potential intruders into one’s home can be difficult, and sometimes even impossible for those on the deafness spectrum.
Thankfully, there is a solution: home alerting systems such as the Visit Home System created by Bellman & Symfon are designed to signal your loved one with hearing loss whenever there is somebody at the door by using a transmitter and a receiver. Every time the doorbell rings, the transmitter notifies the receiver (or multiple receivers) inside the home, which in turn signals the user by combining vibrations and flashing lights.
An ideal present to ensure your loved one with hearing loss feels safe and secure at home!

5. Tinnitus Relief Pillow/ Headphones
People who have recently began wearing hearing aids often tend to experience uncomfortable side effects such as headaches and a tinnitus-like ringing in the ears. The reason why this happens is because the brain needs some time to get used to all the new sounds it is suddenly required to process, relearning how to filter out background noises. While such side effects don’t usually last for a long time, they can be quite unpleasant.
In case you have a loved one who is currently going through this experience, they would definitely appreciate a tinnitus relief product like a sound pillow or headphones specially designed to minimize such symptoms.
Using wireless technology, these products seamlessly connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices to allow the user to stream their favorite ambient sounds, audiobooks, or podcasts while filtering out background noise. A lovely present to help your loved one relieve their tinnitus symptoms, fall asleep with ease, and wake up refreshed!
