Hearing aids are the preferred treatment for most of the 48 million Americans who have hearing loss<\/a>. Today\u2019s devices are amazing in their ability to provide amplification only of sounds you want to hear, connect to Bluetooth devices and automatically adjust their settings based on your environment. But even the most top-of-the-line devices require some getting used to. Below is a guide to help you adjust to your new hearing aids.<\/p>\n

Learn the Basics of Your Hearing Aid<\/h2>\n

Before leaving your audiologist\u2019s office, they\u2019ll walk you through how to put in and take out the hearing aid, clean it, turn it on and change the batteries.<\/p>\n

In addition, they\u2019ll instruct you how long you should be wearing your hearing aids<\/a> each day. Unlike buying a pair of pants at Northwoods Mall<\/a>, you can\u2019t simply put on your new hearing aids and wear them all day right away. Instead, you\u2019ll start by wearing them just a few hours a day, then gradually work up to wearing them during all waking hours.<\/p>\n

Know What Is Normal and What Isn\u2019t<\/h2>\n

The first few days of wearing hearing aids can be frustrating since you\u2019re not yet used to hearing all the sounds around you or having a piece of technology sitting in your ear. It\u2019s important to know what is and isn\u2019t normal about wearing hearing aids so that you know what discomforts will pass and what needs to be addressed by an audiologist.<\/p>\n
