Seven easy steps to better hearing

It takes time to adjust to a new hearing instrument. How long this adjustment takes
differs from person to person. It will depend on a number of factors, such as whether you
have had a hearing instrument before and the degree of your hearing loss.
1. In the quiet of your home
Try to accustom yourself to all the new sounds. Listen to the many background sounds
and try to identify each sound. Bear in mind that some sounds will seem different from
what you are used to. You may have to learn to identify them again. Note that in time
you will get accustomed to the sounds in your environment – if not please contact your
Hearing Care Professional.
If using the hearing instrument makes you tired, take it off for a little while and have a
rest. Gradually, you will begin to be able to listen for longer periods of time. Soon, you will
be able to wear your hearing instrument comfortably all day long.
