Adjusting to the hearing aids
What to expect
Adjusting to a new hearing aid can feel overwhelming at
first, and it can take time to feel fully comfortable. With
patience, though, you'll soon be enjoying better hearing.
Here's what you can expect during the first few days and
weeks of using the hearing aids.
Comfort and fit
• The eartips may feel strange or itchy inside your ear canal
at first. This is normal, and you'll get used to the feeling
over time. However, if they feel painful, try a different
eartip size (see page 72).
• The hearing aids might feel slightly uncomfortable to
start. Try to wear them as much as possible to give
yourself time to get used to the feeling.
TIP: If you aren't comfortable wearing the hearing
aids all day, try wearing them for a few hours at a
time and gradually work up to longer use.
