Posted Wednesday December 10, 2025

Summer brings a chance to pause, reset and plan for the year ahead. It’s the perfect time to check in on your hearing health—especially if you found yourself struggling to follow conversations during festive gatherings.

 

Why book a hearing check over summer?

You’ll have more time

Life slows down a little, and it’s easier to fit in the appointments that keep you feeling your best.

You notice issues more during the festive season

Busy rooms, background chatter, and outdoor events often highlight hearing changes.

It sets you up for a better year

Knowing exactly how your hearing is tracking gives you confidence heading into work, family life, and social activities.

 

Already wear hearing aids? Summer check-ups matter too

Heat, sunscreen, and humidity can impact your hearing aids. A mid-summer tune-up ensures everything is performing at its best.

General summer care benefits include:

  • A professional clean to remove sweat, moisture and sunscreen build-up

  • Checking domes, filters and microphones

  • Updating settings for summer environments like outdoor gatherings, wind, and busy social spaces

  • Reviewing your app settings and ensuring everything is working correctly

A clinician can also test your hearing again and make any necessary fine-tuning adjustments.

 

Review your hearing protection too

Summer often includes:

  • DIY and gardening

  • Lawn mowers and machinery

  • Live music

  • Boating and motorsports

  • Big events and concerts

It’s a good time to explore custom earplugs or high-fidelity hearing protection that keeps your hearing safe without compromising sound quality.
