Adapting To Your Hearing Aid
A hearing aid is a small electronic device that can be worn in or behind your ear.
They amplify sounds so that a person with a hearing impairment can communicate more effectively.
Adapting to your hearing aid will take some time.
This is usually around 4-6 weeks for your brain to familiarize itself with the sounds it was missing.
Every individual is different and how they adapt to their hearing aids will also differ.
We focus on patient aural rehabilitation.
We help guide our patients through their adaptation process so it is a comfortable experience.
Hearing new sounds can initially overwhelm your brain.
Take time to become familiar with your hearing aids. The first days of your fitting you may want to use your hearing aids in familiar environment such as your home and wear them for as long as comfortable.
If you have hearing loss you may not be aware of it, especially if it has developed over time.
