5 Activities That Will Improve Your Hearing Health

Hearing, in its very essence, helps us lead our daily lives without limitations.

However, most often than not, we take it for granted and delay on giving it some much-needed TLC until we realise it is too late.

While we’re lucky to have been born with advanced technologies in the market such as hearing aids, it’s still so much better to prevent unfortunate health conditions to develop by taking good care of our hearing.

Here are some fun activities you can do as recommended by our hearing experts.

1. Regular Exercise

Daily workout is beneficial to the body, most especially to one’s hearing. Allowing yourself to move regularly increases blood circulation in the ear and brain, which helps improve nerve functions. A study published in The Americal Journal of Medicine found that two hours of weekly exercise is already enough to decrease the risk of developing hearing loss.

A tip is to try out different workouts and figure out what works best for you. Invite your friends to join you or meet new ones along the way to keep your active life fun and exciting.

2. Yoga

Yoga has long been proven for a wide variety of benefits. If you’re a yoga enthusiast or curious to start your journey of being a yogi, you’ll be delighted to know that this exercise also promotes hearing health.

Just like cardio workouts, certain yoga poses such as the tree, lotus, cobra, and triangle help regulate blood flow as well as remove wastes and toxins. Furthermore, studies show that patients who suffer from tinnitus have also found ease in practising regular yoga.

3. Meditation

Unnecessary stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on your brain. As it plays a huge role in how hearing works, it is also important to keep our brain as stress-free as possible.

Take a few minutes every day to clear and calm your mind. Meditating for as little as five minutes daily can help improve your brain’s ability to process sounds.

4. Solve Puzzles

This is another way to keep your brain sharp and healthy, which then reduces the chance of developing hearing problems. While our ears are the ones receiving sounds, our brains are doing the work in processing sensory information.

Sudoku, crosswords, and word searches help us maintain healthy brain tissues and neural connections, which are all necessary to complete the hearing process.

5. Sound focus and sound location

Sound isolation is exactly what it sounds like. This particular activity trains your hearing when it comes to carrying out conversations around noisy environments. The good thing about this is that you can do it just about anywhere.

Distinguish the sounds that you can hear and identify where they are coming from. Focus on these sounds for a few seconds. Try to filter out background noises for a brief moment before moving on to the next sound.

Don’t put off your hearing health any longer. Go through these fun and simple exercises and your hearing will thank you for it later.

However, If you are already experiencing hearing loss, be sure to have your hearing checked. Listening Lab is a hearing center with branches you can visit for a hearing test in Singapore.

JonathanPo-Testimonial
I started experiencing loss of hearing sometimes in 2010 (41 years old) owing to some medical issue. I was having difficulties hearing conservation especially in meeting. Thus, giving me the fear in attending meeting.

Initially I started with Phonak hearing aid. It helps amplified the sound and I could hear better then. Somehow, my hearing loss deteriorated further that in late 2012 (43 years old), there was profound loss of hearing on my right ear. Even digital hearing aid could not help. On my left ear there is still about 50% to 60% hearing with hearing aid. I was lost at this point of time. I was considering learning sign language. I went to see my ENT specialist and my audiologist Mr. Bala advised me to go for an CI as an alternative to my hearing loss.

I also thank God for Engineer and Scientist, giving them the knowledge to create such a complex and sophisticate device to help those with hearing loss like me. It will be all perfect if the cost is affordable too.

TitusPang-Testimonial
Titus was implanted when he was 18 months old. He is a happy, talkative 6.5 years old now. AB has been with him for 5 wonderful hearing years and we are looking forward to a bright future that lies ahead for him. AB’s Naída CI sound processors are reliable and the technology is constantly evolving and upgrading. When Titus was introduced to Naida Link CROS, his life was enriched. The wireless network established between his Naida CI sound processor and a Naida Link CROS transmitter allows him to hear from both ears. This changes Titus’s life and the way we interact with him. We are also very pleased with the prompt response and service provided to us. The staff in AB genuinely cares! We want to thank AB for making Titus’s hearing journey an enjoyable and a relatively stress free one!

I have been living with progressive hearing loss for more than three decades. Socially, I find myself fearful of communicating with people and at home, watching 'soundless' television programs is a norm.

An unforgettable experience. Trying on a pair of Resound GN hearing aid, I was energized and revitalized and overwhelmed with emotional tears of joy. The Resound GN is truly remarkable and uniquely equipped with three-friendly-user environmental modes that provide hearing comfort wherever we are.

In particular, I like to extend my utmost gratitude to Hearing Consultant. With her profound compassion and wisdom in guiding me, I am confident that I can forge a formidable partnership with the Listening Lab; So that I can rebuild a new chapter of a happy and value-creative life and simultaneously, leaving behind the painful memories of the past three decades.
