Hearing aids are a brilliant piece of technology, but like any device, they can occasionally play up. Before booking a repair or assuming the worst, it's worth working through a few simple checks. Many of the most common hearing aid problems come down to one thing: the battery.
Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care is launching its 'Hear Today, Think Tomorrow' campaign backed by a decade of customer data revealing that younger people are now seeking hearing care in record numbers.
Our eyesight is something many of us take for granted – until something changes. Vision can change so gradually that we barely notice them at first. You might find yourself squinting at your phone, struggling to read a menu in a dimly lit restaurant, or rubbing your eyes after a long day at your desk.
For millions of us, our working week now includes time working from home and for many this can be full time. No commute, your own kitchen and the freedom to wear whatever you like from the waist down – there's a lot to love. But it's not without its downsides – there's the toll that long hours in a poorly set-up home office can take on your eyes and ears.
As we awaken from the grey, drabness of winter to the beautiful rainbow of colour that spring presents, for some of us this also means red, itchy and streaming eyes. For millions of hay fever sufferers in the UK, this is an all too familiar reality.
We often take our hearing for granted. For most of us, it has always simply been a part of how we experience the world, connect with the people we love and enjoy the everyday moments that make life meaningful. It is often only when hearing loss symptoms begin to appear that we realise just how much hearing really matters.

Most people put off getting hearing aids for years. Not because they don’t need one, but because accepting their hearing loss and having to wear hearing aids can feel harder than just living with it.

When we think about hearing loss, we often focus on the physical aspects of not being able to hear clearly. But there's a deeper, less visible impact that many people don't realise – the profound effect hearing loss can have on mental health and emotional wellbeing.
