Fitting and wearing hearing aid early is better

The selection of hearing aids is not random. For example, to match glasses, you need to have an optometry and check your eyesight. Before the selection of hearing aids, the hearing test should be carried out to understand the hearing of both ears. Not all patients with hearing loss are suitable to use hearing aids. Patients with conductive hearing loss, sudden hearing loss in a short period of time, malformation or atresia of the external auditory canal, foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, etc. should first seek medical treatment, and then listen to the doctor’s advice on whether it is necessary to select hearing aids. If the hearing loss is partly or completely caused by central diseases, even if the pure tone threshold test results are acceptable, the hearing aid effect may not be ideal. In addition, it is also important to have a professional fitter and good after-sales service.

For the first time to wear hearing aids, patients should carry out adaptive training. Because the sound processed by the hearing aid is different from that heard by the human ear, the patients can hear more. It can be used in a quiet environment first, mainly at home, wearing for 1-2 hours every day, to be familiar with and distinguish different sounds after hearing aid. After the initial adaptation, put on the hearing aid to a little quiet outdoor, increase the time of wearing every day. After basic adaptation, we can use hearing aids in public places and communicate with others as much as possible. After full adaptation, it can be worn all day, washed, swims and other special circumstances removed. In the process of adaptation, if the effect of hearing aid is not satisfied, we can adjust the hearing aid continuously by the match maker to make the effect of hearing aid reach the best.

Hearing aids and glasses are all auxiliary devices, but many patients can not accept hearing aids psychologically, and they are afraid of relying on hearing aids. In fact, the correct use of hearing aids will not aggravate hearing loss, but rely on hearing aids, which shows that hearing aids help a lot in daily life and work. Moreover, hearing aids are becoming more and more miniaturized, precise and fashionable. At the same time of hearing aid, it can also be concealed, which not only improves the quality of life, but also protects personal privacy.

When people find that they can’t hear clearly and have trouble communicating with others, they should go to a doctor in time. If clinical hearing experts suggest to choose hearing aids, patients need to wear them as early as possible, because long-term hearing disorders will bring a lot of inconvenience in life and work, and psychological problems may also be caused by communication difficulties, or even refusal to communicate, resulting in loneliness, loneliness and depression. It is worth mentioning that with the growth of age and aging, hearing loss will become more and more serious. The longer the time without hearing aid is, the longer the adaptation period after wearing hearing aid will be, and the effect of hearing aid may not be as good as that of patients wearing hearing aid early.
