Wearing a new hearing instrument
It is not unusual that it takes several years before taking steps to correct a hearing loss and get a hearing instrument. During this period of time your hearing system is deprived of auditory information, this changes the way your brain interprets sound. It will take some time for your brain to learn how to use the information that your new hearing instrument provides.
In the beginning you will hear many sounds that you have not heard in a long time. As the novelty wears off, you will find yourself less distracted and comfortable with the new sound quality.
In the beginning we recommend that you wear your new hearing devices a couple of hours each day the first week until you feel comfortable and appreciates your new hearing aid. The best way to be familiar with the equipment is to wear them in surroundings you are familiar with. Remember this learning process takes time and patience.
You will probably discover that your voice sounds a bit different and that you have to speak with a softer voice, as you in the past have learned to speak up to hear yourself. Also try practice talking when you are watching television.
When you get to know your new hearing aid better, you probably have some ideas for improvements. During subsequent visits to Danica, we will fine-tune your hearing devices to increase benefit.
To benefit from your new hearing devices we strongly recommend that you continue to use them on a daily basis for several hours.
