2 Intended use
Generic air-conduction hearing aids are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to compensate
for impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing aids is to receive, amplify, and
transfer sound to the eardrum of a hearing impaired person.
3 Becoming accustomed to amplification
While purchasing hearing aids is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more comfortable
hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hearing aids provide takes time and consistent
use.
You will enjoy more benefits from your Interton hearing aids by taking the following actions:
• Wear the hearing aids regularly in order to get comfortable with using them.
• It takes time to get used to hearing aids. It may help to begin by wearing them for short periods
– even as little as 15 minutes – and then gradually increasing your wearing time. In a way, it is
no different from adjusting to contact lenses. Speak to your hearing care professional, who can
design a schedule tailored just for you.
• As you get more comfortable with them, increase the wearing time and wear your hearing aids in
multiple types of listening environments.
It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the “new” sounds around you.
Following these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and in-
crease the benefits you get from using Interton hearing aids.
