Becoming accustomed to amplification
While getting 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.
l
You will enjoy more benefits from your ReSound Danalogic hearing
system by taking the following actions:
l
Wear the system regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.
l
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 your
hearing care professional, who can design a schedule tailored just
for you.
l
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. Following these suggestions will give
your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and increase the
benefits you get from using a ReSound Danalogic hearing system.
