Hearing Expectations
Set appropriate expectations
It is important that you have the right expectations
regarding your hearing instruments. Hearing
instruments can help you hear and understand better,
but they are not a cure for hearing loss.
People whose expectations are too high (“I thought
they would make my hearing normal”) are likely to be
disappointed and may give up.
Hearing instruments can:
· Help you hear and understand better in most
situations
· Allow you to participate more in group situations
and meetings
Hearing instruments cannot:
· Give you normal hearing
Hearing instruments may not:
· Let you hear very soft sounds
· Block ALL background noises – especially in noisy
situations. Even people without hearing loss
may have difficulty hearing in the presence of
background noise.
