Making the
most of your
hearing aid
Getting used to your hearing aid
When you first start wearing a hearing aid you may find
that you are very aware of everyday background sounds
that you have not been used to hearing, like kettles
boiling, toilets flushing etc. You may find that these
noises are distracting and make it difficult for you to
focus on what you want to hear, this is quite normal.
As you gradually become accustomed to these sounds,
your brain will learn to filter them out, so that you
become less aware of them over time.
