During the holidays, hearing concerns gain heightened importance:
• Enhanced communication — Hearing enhances communication and strengthens relationships and thus makes gatherings more enjoyable and inclusive.
• Enjoyment of holiday music — Hearing allows individuals to appreciate festive music and carols, adding to the holiday spirit.
• Participation in traditions – The ability to hear enables full participation in holiday traditions, such as storytelling and games.
• Emotional well-being — Good hearing contributes to overall happiness and reduces feelings of isolation during the festive season.
• Safety awareness Hearing helps individuals stay aware of their surroundings, ensuring safety in busy holiday environments.
In related news, Madison City Council recently eliminated sales tax on the sale of hearing aids in the City of Madison. Madison is the first city in the state to move to support the residents who rely on hearing aids.
