Music Lovers' Simple Summer Hearing Tips

Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy outdoor concerts and movies. Sitting under the stars, enjoying music or a great film, is a special treat. If you wear hearing aids, though, you may wonder how to get the best sound experience.

Here are some simple summer hearing tips to help you enjoy every event.

Tip 1: Pick Your Seat Carefully

Where you sit makes a big difference at concerts and movies. Sitting too close to speakers can make sounds too loud or unclear. One of the best simple summer hearing tips is to sit a little farther back where sound feels more even and comfortable.  Some venues have designated seating for people with hearing loss. Check their webpage under accessibility which is often found under planning your visit.

Tip 2: Try the Music Program

Many hearing aids have a special “music” setting. This setting lets you hear more of the natural music sound without extra noise filters. Switching to this program is one of the easiest and most helpful simple summer hearing tips for enjoying live music and movies. Check with your hearing aid provider to enable the program and to teach you how to activate the program.

Tip 3: Ask About Listening Tools

Some events offer listening systems or apps that connect to your hearing aids. Asking about these tools is another great example of simple summer hearing tips that can improve your hearing experience. Check their webpage under accessibility which is often found under planning your visit.

Enjoy the Show

You deserve to enjoy the magic of outdoor concerts and movies without worry. These tips will help you sit back, relax, and hear every note and every word.
