adviCe

note 

• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not 

prevent or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic con-
ditions . However, the hearing aid can help you to make the 
best possible use of your remaining hearing ability . You should 
also bear in mind that it can take time to get used to a new 
hearing aid and new sounds .

• In most cases, using the hearing aid infrequently will not per-

mit you to gain full benefit from it .

• The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation 

and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and 
instruction in lipreading . 

• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of 

earwax . Contact your physician/ENT doctor if you suspect that 
a plug of earwax has accumulated in your ear . Earwax may not 
only reduce your own hearing but also the effect of the hear-
ing aid considerably . It is a good idea to ask your physician to 
clean your ears a couple of times a year .
