Hearing instruments do not restore perfect
hearing. They make sounds louder and help you
make the most of the hearing you have. While
some immediate benet is usually noticed, it often
takes several weeks for your brain to adapt to the
new sounds.
The following tips will help you learn to use your
instruments. If you have trouble adjusting, consult
your hearing care professional.
Getting Started
· Wear your instruments at home in a quiet
environment. Have a conversation with one
person or listen to a news program on TV.
· You will benet most if you wear your instruments
all day long. Increase the time each day until you
are comfortable wearing them for several hours at
a time.
· You may notice that your own voice sounds
louder. If the voices of others are at a comfortable
level, try speaking at a lower volume.
