Adapting to hearing aids takes time. It needs commitment, education, and patience. The below tips and information can help with the process:
- Learn more about how the device works with the help of a specialist.
- Understand that adjusting to wearing hearing aids takes time.
- Try to become familiar with hearing instruments under non-stressful circumstances for several hours at a time.
- Know what to expect:
- Hearing instruments will not cure hearing loss, restore normal hearing or eliminate background noise.
- Expect sounds to seem loud at first.
- Your voice might sound different and too loud to you.
- You might hear background noise since hearing aids cannot completely differentiate between the sounds we want to hear and the sounds we don’t want to hear. Overtime you will learn to filter noise.
