As the holiday season approaches, many of us are filled with joy, warmth, and anticipation. Whether you’re enjoying the chilly weather with cozy gatherings or soaking up the sun in a warmer climate, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the connections that matter most. At Oticon Medical, we want to help you make the most of this festive season with your Ponto™ bone anchored hearing system. Here are some tips for navigating holiday celebrations, caring for your device, and even gifting accessories to yourself or a loved one!

Embrace the Season, No Matter the Weather

As temperatures drop in many regions, it’s essential to ensure your Ponto device stays in top shape. Keep it warm and dry, especially when transitioning between cold outdoor environments and warm indoor spaces. Consider using a protective case to safeguard your device against the elements, and always make sure it’s clean and free from moisture.

If you’re in a warmer climate, remember to stay hydrated and avoid exposing your device to extreme heat. Just like you, your Ponto needs to stay comfortable to perform at its best!

Holiday Gatherings and Celebrations

The holidays often mean lively gatherings filled with laughter and joy. However, these celebrations can get loud, making it challenging to hear conversations. With your Ponto, you can navigate these environments with ease!

The OpenSound Navigator™ feature enhances your listening experience, allowing you to focus on the voices of those around you even amidst the holiday cheer. Don’t hesitate to share with friends and family how your Ponto device works; they’ll appreciate your insights.

Ponto tips to Remember

Plan for Loud Environments: When attending holiday parties, choose seating that allows you to face speakers. This positioning, combined with your Ponto device, will help you catch every word.

Communicate Your Needs: Don’t hesitate to let hosts know you’re wearing a Ponto. Most people are happy to help create a more comfortable listening environment.

Engage in Activities: Whether it’s baking cookies, playing games, or sharing stories, keep your Ponto on so you can fully immerse yourself in the festivities.

Utilize RemoteCare: If you need adjustments or support during the holidays, remember that the Oticon RemoteCare app allows you to connect with your audiologist easily.

Gifting with Thoughtfulness

The holidays are a wonderful time to share thoughtful gifts. Consider giving the gift of connectivity and convenience with our range of accessories designed for Ponto users. Some great options include:

• ConnectClip. This handy accessory allows you to stream audio and make hands-free calls, making it easier to stay engaged during festive conversations.
• TV Adapter. Nothing is better than watching holiday movies with your family! This is the perfect device for the occasion. The TV Adapter allows you to easily stream sound from your television.
• EduMic. A perfect gift for the little ones, allowing them to directly stream a teacher’s voice or connect to FM or telecoil.

Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising a loved one, these accessories are sure to enhance your Ponto experience and bring joy during the holidays.
