Becoming Accustomed to Amplification
While purchasing a hearing system is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more comfortable
hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hearing system provides takes time and consistent
use.
You will enjoy more benefits from your Interton hearing system by taking the following actions:
• Wear the system regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.
• It takes time to get used to a hearing aid. It may help to begin by wearing your hearing aid for short
periods – even as little as 15 minutes – and then gradually building up your wearing time. In a way, it’s
no different than adjusting to contact lenses. Speak to you hearing care professional, who can design
a schedule tailored just for you.
• As you get more comfortable with the system, increase the wearing time and wear your hearing system
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. Fol-
lowing these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and increase the
benefits you get from using an Interton hearing system.
