Daren Jones
Daren Jones has been in the hearing care industry for the past 20 years. Getting his start with manufacturing and now is a co-owner at Hear Right Canada and is a string advocate for hearing health in Canada.
Daren takes us on his hearing health journey explaining how from a young age he learned of the existence of hearing aids because his grandmother always had one. From that retelling we learn of how hearing aids have evolved to the sophisticated, important devices that they have now become.
We also learn about some key tips on how to identify those loved ones that may be hiding a hearing issue because of the stigma they may be feeling. Daren explains the social implications and how hearing is a key element in social isolation especially among our seniors. We speak about how communication becomes difficult with our seniors and how this effects all parts of their life including their safety and security.
His straightforward explanations about hearing testing and acceptance puts the perspective on eyeglasses versus hearing aids and how they are equally important.
We also touch on the importance that hearing health has on our balance and how healthy ears can be considered a strong Falls Prevention strategy.
This conversation was very enjoyable and informative and puts some string perspective on things we should know and should be mindful of when it comes to our hearing health.
