Hearing Expectations
Set Appropriate Expectations
It is important that you have the right expectations
regarding your hearing instruments. Hearing
instruments will give you better hearing, but they
are not a cure for hearing loss.
People whose expectations are too high (“I thought
they would make my hearing normal”) are likely to be
disappointed and may give up.
Hearing Instruments Can:
· Help you hear and understand better in most
situations
· Allow you to participate more in group situations
and meetings
Hearing Instruments Cannot:
· Give you normal hearing
Hearing Instruments May Not:
· Let you hear very soft sounds
· Block ALL background noises – especially in noisy
situations. Even people without hearing loss may
have difficulty hearing in the presence of background
noise.
