Be Patient
Unlike eyeglasses which correct your vision as soon
as you first put them on, hearing instruments need
some time for proper adjustment. It may take several
weeks or months to completely adjust to your hearing
instruments, so try to be patient. Initially, try different
listening situations, such as one-on-one conversations
with family and friends and conversations with two
or three people at home or in quiet settings. Also, try
having conversations in noisier places like parties,
restaurants, meetings, and outdoors. Do not forget
that some situations are simply too noisy in general –
even for people without hearing loss. So do not get
discouraged.
Consistent use of your hearing instrument is strongly
recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not
allow you to obtain the full benefit from your device.
The use of a hearing instrument is only a part of
total hearing rehabilitation, and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction
in speech reading.
