With an estimated 10 percent of the American population experiencing a hearing loss, it is surprising that very few actually wear hearing aids. While the image or expense of owning a pair might be a hindrance to some, they probably don't realize what they are actually missing. It may be costing them far more than they realize to not invest in a pair.

If you are craving a little more action in the bedroom or things there seem a little lackluster, you may want to check your hearing. Even if you already own a pair of hearing aids, if things are not quite the way you desire, you may want to visit your hearing care professional. They can help you to hear the things your partner may be trying to tell you that you just aren't able to hear. The following is a list of ways to overcome any hearing aid problems that are preventing you from having your way in the bedroom.

Image.

If you are concerned about how a hearing aid will make you look in the eyes of your partner, then you need to check out the latest styles. There are many available that will not only help you to hear the things you want and need to hear, but that will help you to still preserve your hip look. With today's technology, there are several models that are not that noticeable and will stay in place. No more embarrassing episodes where your hearing aid falls out and ruins the moment. In fact, some are so comfortable that you may forget that you even have them in your ears. And your mate will find you to be incredibly sexy when you can hear what's being said.

Batteries.

If you notice that the amplification of your hearing aids just isn't what it used to be, you might want to check the batteries. New batteries will provide you with a new charge and you won't miss those sweet nothings that your partner may be whispering your way.

Price.

If you are concerned with the price of purchasing a pair of hearing aids, then you may want to take into consideration the price you are paying for not purchasing a pair of hearing aids. You are missing more than you realize. Do yourself (and your partner) a huge favor and find a hearing professional that offers a payment plan.

Is the cost of not being able to hear your partner a price you are willing to pay? You may be missing out on flirting and foreplay. Your mate may be sending you signals and making suggestive comments to which you are not responding. They may be getting their feelings hurt and may be finding you to be cold, impassive, and unresponsive. That will cost you a lot in and out of the bedroom.

Poor Sound Quality.

If your hearing aids are plaguing you with feedback (whistling), go back to your hearing professional for adjustments. They can help by making adjustments to your hearing aids, or if that is not possible, can fit you for a new pair that will make you happier. With too much background noise, it may be next to impossible to hear the suggestive comments your partner may be making. There are a myriad of options that can virtually eliminate the background noise and help you hear speech more clearly. Your hearing care professional will be more than happy to assist you in making a choice that will benefit you the most.

Imagine how happy you and your partner will be with your new hearing skills. You will find that those sweet nothings that have been whispered by your partner have never sounded so good!
