Nano Hearing Aids (866-991-9077), a trusted maker and retailer of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, has a new guide covering the relationship between face masks and hearing difficulties.
—
Nano Hearing Aids, who make OTC hearing aids exclusively for adults over the age of 18 with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, has increasingly also become trusted as a source of audiologist-endorsed hearing advice. Now, with their new guide to face masks and their impacts on hearing, they are pleased to be expanding their online hearing information resource.

In the new guide, which is called ‘Face Masks & Hearing Difficulty: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment,’ Nano is pleased to be one of the first online hearing support communities to comment on this now common phenomenon.
As a recent Yahoo! study found, 12% of Americans are still wearing masks regularly in public spaces, a number that is much higher in healthcare contexts, including when seeing one’s primary care physician. As older individuals are also more likely to wear masks to protect their health, and are more likely to have more frequent medical appointments, what this means is there is now an additional communication barrier for many American seniors.
As Nano Hearing Aids’ new guide explains, “When someone wears a face mask, it can dampen and distort sounds, making high-frequency sounds less clear. This can make understanding speech tough, especially in noisy environments. Besides that, masks can also hide the mouth and parts of the face that many people with hearing loss unconsciously rely on to communicate effectively.”
As such, they suggest that mask-related hearing difficulties may be one of the first signs of poor hearing that a person notices.
To help those who are struggling with early hearing loss, the Nano team recommends several practical solutions, including getting sound-friendly and lip-reading-enabled masks for loved ones to wear, like clear or sheer masks.
They also suggest that those individuals who are untested get a hearing test, which can be done by most primary care physicians.
For those readers who are looking for a simple, practical and affordable solution, they also recommend their own Nano brand OTC hearing aids.
“For those with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, Nano OTC hearing aids might be a game-changer," their spokesperson said. "These devices are designed to amplify sound, making it easier for wearers to understand speech, even when the speaker is wearing a mask. However, they’re not suitable for everyone. It’s important to consult with a hearing specialist to see if Nano OTC hearing aids could be beneficial for you.”
In addition to their online hearing guides, Nano Hearing Aids has a friendly and supportive customer service team that is available online and over the phone and is happy to answer all hearing-related questions.
