What are some common challenges when adjusting to hearing aids?

When you have untreated hearing loss, your brain gets accustomed to its current hearing ability. It forgets what it’s like to hear at a normal volume. For this reason, sounds can seem startlingly loud or unnatural when you first start using hearing aids. However, this doesn’t last long. The more you use your new devices, the more quickly your brain can readjust and define a “new” normal.
