Oh, what to stuff the stockings with this year?  For this frugal Christmas, go with things that are needed and helpful.  For the hard of hearing person in your life, here are some ideas:

• Hearing aid batteries.  Be sure and get the right size for the hearing aid.  You can tell the size by the color strip on the package.
• Ear plugs for loud activities like using a hair dryer or mowing the lawn.  Go ahead and get these for everyone on your list.  Include this little reminder with the ear plugs to champion hearing protection.
• An extra dry aid kit.  Most hearing aids come with one.  But, having a extra one for a suitcase, a gym bag, a bedside table or for when the other one needs to be refreshed is helpful and will keep your hearing aids in top condition.
• Ear cleaning kit.  Keeping your ears clean is helpful for your hearing and your aid.  See here for more information on ear wax.
• Hearing Aid cleaning kit.  A daily brushing of the microphone is critical in the maintenance of these expensive devices.

These things are not expensive, but are very helpful.  Just five little ways to keep healthy hearing a part of all of our lives.   Happy Holidays.
