Tips to get used to your new hearing aid

September 20^th, 2018

Hearing aids are helpful in improving hearing in people who suffer from hearing loss that result from damage to the sensory cells in the inner ear. A hearing aid magnifies the sound vibrations. The surviving hearing cells in the inner ear detect the magnified vibrations and convert them into neural signals. These are passed on the brain, thus the patient is able to hear.

Once you have got your hearing aid, it is natural for you to take time to get adjusted to the addition to your lifestyle. There are certain things that can help you to transition smoothly.

- You must note that getting used to hearing aids will take time. It is not an overnight process. You will notice that your listening skills improve gradually. You need to get accustomed to the amplification. Initially even your own voice may sound a bit different.

- You need to use your hearing aid device in different environments. The amplified sounds will sound different in different places. So you need to get used to using them in different kinds of environments.

- You must seek the support of close family members, relatives and friends. You could also join a group of people using hearing aids.

- Your audiologist is the best consultant to guide you through the entire process. Thus you must give your feedback in regard to the use of the hearing aid and seek advice what could be done to improve your hearing further. We at Sky Speech and Hearing Care provide you with the best consultation.
