How to Adjust Your Hearing Aid In Noise
Some people assume once they turn their hearing aid on in the
morning, it doesn’t need to be adjusted again. This is not always the
case. You may find you need to adjust the volume on your hearing
aid several times throughout the day. This often depends upon the
noise levels of various situations. Generally, in noisier areas, the
volume should be turned down.
Normal volume control settings are:
QUIET
- 1/2 on or between 1/3 to 2/3 on. This is the normal
setting for “around the house.”
NOISE
- 1/4 on. Hearing aids should be turned down in restau-
rants, malls, crowds, and when you are riding/driving in a vehicle
moving at speeds 55 mph or higher.
Wear your hearing aid while you are awake.
The more often you wear your hearing aid(s),
the quicker you will adjust to them.
Hearing aid(s) should be worn every day.
