For some people, it’s hard to go through a single day without losing something. Whether it’s the remote, your wallet, keys, glasses, your homework, or your hearing aids, losing something is bound to happen at one point or another. The frustrating part is that with many of the common items that get lost, it can throw a whole ratchet in your entire day, especially if it’s something like your wallet or your hearing aids. In our last blog, we offered some tips on how to avoid losing your hearing aids in the first place, such as keeping a routine and making storage a habit. In this post, we’ll talk about what to do if you have lost a hearing aid and simply can’t find it again.

What to Do if You Can’t Find Your Hearing Aids
Retrace Your Steps
Whether you think you lost the hearing aids at work, out shopping, or at home, it’s always a good idea to pause for a moment and try to remember when you last saw them, used them, or took them off. Because hearing aids are so small, we understand that finding the devices will be a challenge. If you haven’t already, try:- Searching each small nook and cranny in your home one more time
- Try calling the grocery store and other locations you have been recently to see if they have found them
- Consider calling friends or family members to see if they have any clues
- Search your car
- Look around your office
- Dig into your purse or briefcase
- Reach into the sofa cushions
