Face masks help protect us from viruses and infections, but they add communication challenges for everyone, especially people wearing hearing aids. Masks lower the volume of a person's speech and slightly muffle it, making it harder for most people to hear, not only those wearing hearing aids. If you are a hearing aid wearer, your Resonate Audiologist can program your ReSound Nexia™ 9 hearing aids (the very best) with a ‘mask mode’ to easily switch to a clearer and louder sound setting when you wear a mask.

Be careful when removing a mask, as its ear loops may tug on your hearing aids and pull them out. Consider wearing masks that tie at the back of your head to avoid any accidents. For more information, contact your Resonate specialist today.
