Adjusting to the hearing aids
What to expect
Adjusting to a new hearing aid can feel overwhelm-
ing at first, and it can take time to feel fully comfort-
able. 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 domes 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 dome size (see page 84).
• 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.
