Transcript

00:00Do you sometimes struggle to hear conversations?

00:03Hearing changes are common after 60.

00:06But feeling left out doesn't have to be part of aging.

00:10Let's explore ways to stay connected and enjoy conversations fully.

00:14As we get older, tiny hair cells in the inner ear can wear down.

00:19This can reduce our ability to hear certain frequencies.

00:22This is called age-related hearing loss, or presbycusis.

00:27Difficulty following conversations in groups can be a big clue.

00:31Asking people to repeat themselves or needing higher TV volume are also signs.

00:36If this sounds familiar, you may be facing hearing loss.

00:40Regular hearing exams detect problems early.

00:44Early detection helps you take action before communication becomes frustrating.

00:49Don't wait. Make that appointment today.

00:53Modern hearing aids are discreet and effective.

00:56They improve clarity and reduce strain.

00:59With the right device, you'll stay socially active and engaged.

01:03Face the person you're speaking with.

01:05Reducing background noise helps a lot.

01:08Ask others to speak slowly and clearly.

01:15Social interaction keeps your brain sharp.

01:18Don't withdraw. Join conversations and community activities.
