Enjoying Avurudu With Hearing Aids: 3 Tips for a Joyful Celebration 

Hey there! avurudu season is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited! 

It’s a time for families to gather, relishes the taste of mouth-watering kokis, and bond over laughter and joy.

However, for those of us who wear hearing aids, it can be tricky to enjoy the season fully and participate in all the avurudu activities. 

But don’t worry! 

In this blog, we’ll share some tips to help hearing aid wearers make this avurudu memorable! 

Communication Tips

The “avurudu uthsawa” (festivals) are a must–have activity in every village that everyone loves to participate in.

However, with all the loud music and chatter, the season can be challenging for those with hearing aids to follow conversations. 

To ensure effective communication, ask your family and friends to face you directly when speaking.  

If you’re having trouble hearing, don’t be shy and afraid to ask for clarification.  

Maintaining your hearing aid

To ensure that you fully enjoy the festivities, it’s essential to take good care of your hearing aid.  

Regular cleaning is crucial, and investing in waterproof hearing aids can protect against any water damage. 

And let’s not forget to shield your hearing aid from the sun’s intense heat and direct sunlight, as they can also cause damage.  

So, take the necessary precautions to ensure a memorable and safe New Year celebration! 

Planning ahead

To make the most of the season, plan ahead to minimize any hearing-related stress. 

If you are about to attend any avurudu festival, consider bringing noise-canceling headphones to reduce background noise. 

A noise-reduction hearing aid provides less amplification to noise so you can focus on speech better. 

And arranging to the seat ahead of time can also ensure that you’re in the best spot for hearing conversations, be it while enjoying the taste of the flavorful avurudu sweets!  

Always keep your family and friends informed about any difficulties you may face in communicating.  

Don’t be afraid to remind them every now and then, because a little communication can go a long way in making your celebrations enjoyable! 

Avurudu is a time for joy and celebration, but it can also be a source of stress for hearing aid wearers. 

By following these tips, you can enjoy the season while also taking care of your hearing aid and hearing health.
