Adapt to a better life with your new hearing aids
It will take some time and patience to get used to the way in which your hearing aid transfers sounds. This adjustment period is perfectly normal. But soon enough you’ll start to hear sounds that you could not hear before, and many sounds that you had not realized they had been lost.
Learn to listen again
When you use your hearing aid for the first time, you will notice that the way in which you hear feels completely different. This is because your brain must learn to hear sounds again, especially the complex spectrum of human speech.
According to research, understanding of speech improves gradually over time after the first time you use your hearing aid. The more you wear the device, the clearer and more natural the sound will become.
The following are comments made by people who used hearing aids for the first time:
- It takes time to get used to wearing hearing aids.
- Your voice may sound different at first.
- Your hearing in noisy environments will be improved but not as much as in a quiet place.
- You may detect sounds you had not heard for a long time, like the hum of household appliances, or the chirping of a bird.
