From the moment you get
them, it may be tempting
to wear and use your
hearing instruments
constantly. However,
this can lead to
discomfort, fatigue and
disappointment – all
factors that can prevent
successful learning.
The level and complexity
of sound environments
“out in the real world”
make it a less than ideal
place to hear in, even if
you have normal hearing.
It is best to begin your
instrument usage
gradually, until it is fully
integrated into your daily
life. The amount of
patience and practice – combined with a positive
attitude – will most likely determine the degree
of success.
