A Gift Guide for Those Who Celebrate Better Hearing

As the holiday season approaches, the search for the perfect gift is on. This year, why not choose gifts that show your loved ones just how much you care about their hearing health? Hearing health is an often overlooked yet incredibly important aspect of overall wellness. Whether you have a family member who is a music enthusiast, a frequent traveler, or someone who wears hearing aids, there are thoughtful and practical gifts available that will make them smile from ear to ear.

In this guide, we’ve curated a selection of items that promote better hearing, from top-of-the-line earplugs to innovative hearing aid accessories. Here are our favorite and fantastic gift options that can help protect and enhance the hearing of those you care about:

1. Custom Molded Earplugs

For those who require ear protection tailored to their unique ear shape, custom molded earplugs are an excellent gift. These earplugs are made to fit the contours of the ear perfectly, providing superior comfort and protection.

Custom molded earplugs are ideal for musicians, hunters and anyone who needs long-term ear protection. Available from our doctors of audiology, they’re durable, long-lasting, and provide excellent noise reduction.

2. Concert Tickets

Put those noise-reducing earplugs to the test and bring your loved one to a show! Scoring tickets to their favorite band — or even a local showcase featuring talented community members — might be just the answer.

3. Hearing Aid Fashion

Send your loved one off to the concert in style! Hearing technology and fashion go well together, and talented artists are taking note with imaginative creations that inspire, empower, and wow.

Award-winning company Deafmetal USA makes not only hearing aid and cochlear implant jewelry but also skins and stickers that let the wearer show off their personality. With a gift card that lets Mom pick out her favorite pieces, she’ll be good to go. They offer magnetic charms for easy handling of hearing aids, and stylish designs to personalize your hearing aids.

4. Audiobook Subscription

If your loved one savors a good mystery novel or other reads, how about letting them hear them? That’s right, let’s talk audiobooks. They can open a whole new world of content and be a feast for the ears, between radio shows, TV programs, and digital audiobooks.

Platforms such as Audible and AudiobooksNow offer various subscriptions or membership tiers. Audiobooks are also a great way to break in a new set of hearing aids, as you train your ears on your new equipment!

5. Rechargeable Hearing Aid Batteries

For those who use hearing aids, having a reliable source of power is crucial. Rechargeable hearing aid batteries are a practical and eco-friendly gift that ensures hearing aids are always ready to use. These batteries can be recharged overnight, providing a full day of power and eliminating the need for disposable batteries.

Rechargeable hearing aid batteries are long-lasting and compatible with most modern hearing aids that take batteries.

6. National Parks Pass

Listening to the sounds of nature can relax the mind and restore the spirit. Part of overall wellness is keeping stress in check!

How does access to an estimated 2,000 U.S. federal recreation sites or over 80 Canadian national park sites sound? With an annual pass, a whole world of adventure awaits — including breathtaking canyons, fascinating wildlife, beautiful flora, historic waterways, timeless architecture, hiking, camping, and more. It’s a great way to invite serenity into your life and create memories that last a lifetime.

7. Hearing Aid Dehumidifier

Hearing aids are a significant investment and keeping them in good working condition is essential. A hearing aid dehumidifier helps to remove moisture and keep hearing aids dry and functioning properly.

Dehumidifying your hearing aids is especially important for those who live in humid climates or who are active and may sweat while wearing their hearing aids. They extend the life of your hearing aids, and our doctors of audiology will certainly have a favorite to suggest!

8. Bluetooth Speaker

There’s nothing like enjoying the sounds you want to hear with the help of a portable speaker. Whether they’re listening to music while cooking or taking a bath, or hosting a holiday soiree, streaming audio through a quality Bluetooth speaker puts wireless convenience — and joyful sound — right at your loved one’s fingertips.
