    FDA Information Use your hearing aid all day long The best way to ensure better hearing is to practice listening with your hearing aids until you are able to wear them comfortably all day. Generally, infrequent use of the hearing aid does not provide you with the full benefit of amplification.

(ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days. (iii) History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days. (iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.
