Other tips for adjusting to the sound of your hearing aids
Your wireless CROS hearing aid is designed to help you hear, but it will not restore normal
hearing. The CROS Microphone will not amplify sounds in your worst/non-hearing ear.
You may find when in noisy situations or when there is background noise, that you still do not
catch everything being said. This is because hearing aids are not always able to pick up all the
speech you want to hear when there is a lot of noise. We recommend using communication
tactics alongside your hearing aids to get the full benefit. We will discuss some communication
tactics that may be helpful next.

If after a month of consistently trying to get used to your hearing aids, and you are finding
sounds bothersome, contact the audiology department and we can schedule a telephone
appointment to discuss the difficulties you are having further.
If you experience headaches, tinnitus or dizziness contact the audiology department and
discontinue using your hearing aids until further discussion with an audiologist.
