Tips for wearing hearing aids for the
first time
1. Start in a quiet room at home first to get
used to the new sound quality. Sounds like
the ticking of a clock, the humming of the
computer, the beep of the microwave or the
rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud
to you at first, because you have not been
hearing them properly for a long time.
2. Read aloud to yourself and learn to correct
the volume of your own voice when you are
wearing the hearing aids.
3. Talk to different people and learn how to
distinguish between different sound
patterns again.
4. It will take some time before you are
completely used to your hearing aids and
can fully enjoy the benefits.
5. Wear your hearing aids for as many hours
a day as you can, and for a little longer
each day.
