DISCLAIMERS
• The use of a hearing device will not restore normal hearing. All
it can do is improve your existing hearing ability.
• The use of a hearing device will not cause further hearing loss,
nor will it stop the progression of any further hearing loss.
• At first you may notice sounds in your environment that you
have not heard in a while which may be disturbing. Soon your
brain will adapt to the sounds around you.
• For some, full adaptation to amplification can take up to 3
months of consistent wear.
• Optimal listening distance, even for someone who hears nor-
mally, is about 3-10 feet. It’s especially important to remember
this while adapting to amplification.
