eight 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 get accustomed to all the new sounds. Listen to the many background sounds and
try to identify each one. 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 used 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.
