ADVICE

NOTE 

•  The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent 

or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic conditions . How-
ever, the hearing aid can help you to make the best possible use of 
your remaining hearing ability . You should also bear in mind that it 
can take time to get used to a new hearing aid and new sounds .

•  In most cases, using the hearing aid infrequently will not permit you 

to gain full benefit from it .

•  The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may 

need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in 
lipreading . 

•  The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of earwax . 

Contact your physician/ENT doctor if you suspect that a plug of ear-
wax has accumulated in your ear . Earwax may not only reduce your 
own hearing but also the effect of the hearing aid considerably . It 
is a good idea to ask your physician to clean your ears a couple of 
times a year .
