MEET YOUR NEW HEARING SYSTEM
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DEVICE
GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR NEW DEVICE
Just like any other big change in your life, you can expect a short period
of getting comfortable with your new hearing aid. You’ll suddenly
hear things that maybe you haven’t in years: a dripping faucet, that old
grandfather clock, footsteps, traffic noises and even the sound of your
own voice! This can all be a lot to take in if you jump in feet first, so we’ve
put together a few helpful tips and tricks to ease your transition.
1. Be Patient
-
By far the most important; understand how much you can
handle and remember that the biggest journeys start with a single step.
2. Start Slow
-
Don’t overdo it. Your first impulse may be to plug in your
new hearing aid and head out into the crowd. But be cautious, you can
surprise your hearing and risk becoming frustrated with the sounds you
are adding back to your listening world. Start off wearing your hearing aid
for no more than an hour at a time and do this throughout the day several
times. Also, be sure to avoid noisy places at first.
