Staying Safe

Is it Okay to See a Hearing Professional During COVID-19?

The way we went about our everyday lives before and after COVID-19 is completely different, and there is no exception when it comes to visiting your hearing professionals. Although an essential service, many people are concerned about engaging in a non-emergency service during the pandemic.

However, Beltone South is taking the necessary precautions to ensure your safety, so that you are able to feel safe and comfortable while receiving your hearing services, without having to sacrifice your wellbeing.

The Importance of Hearing Health

There are many benefits to receiving hearing care. Wearing hearing aids can greatly increase the quality of life while eliminating the stress that can sometimes happen when one is struggling to hear. Both mental and physical health is improved by wearing hearing aids, and the quality of sleep improves as well. By visiting Beltone South, you are able to get a free hearing screening in order to assess any hearing loss.

For those who have not yet been diagnosed with hearing loss, having an assessment can make all of the difference to improve your quality of life, while those who have already been diagnosed can feel comfortable knowing that they will get the hearing aid services they need through Beltone South.

Medical Services During COVID-19

The pandemic has changed the way non-emergency medical services are received, as well as many other essential services. Many businesses are now requiring masks to be worn as well as any other form of Personal Protective Equipment, and some even offer tele-health services when applicable.

Physical contact, such as handshakes or hugs should be avoided, and others may not be allowed to accompany you to appointments. However, with proper hygiene and by taking necessary precautions, the risk of contracting COVID-19 can be greatly reduced.

Receiving Hearing Care During the Pandemic

One of the many consequences of COVID-19 is people not seeking the healthcare they need because it is not considered an emergency service. Although the pandemic has taken up many medical resources, there is no reason to neglect receiving hearing services; which are a medical necessity.

Due to the stress that one may have while facing hearing loss, visiting your hearing specialists at Belone South could be a step in the right direction. It is, however, important to understand your body and your health in order to properly assess the risks. Although with the correct precautions, you could be hearing better and having a better quality of life.
