How to adapt to wearing hearing aids for the first time

We choose hearing aids. The initial feeling of wearing them, just like wearing glasses or dentures for the first time, is more or less not suitable. The sound we hear through hearing aids is different from the sound we usually hear directly with our ears. For example, when we make a phone call, we hear each other’s voice through the mobile phone, which is different from the voice we hear when we talk directly face to face. At this point, we need a process of adaptation to familiarize ourselves with the “new” sound. The length and effect of this adaptation period are determined by age, physical condition, hearing loss, deafness time and cognitive attitude.

Here are the steps to get better hearing aid:

1. In your quiet home

Try to get used to all the new sounds, listen to all kinds of background sounds, and try to distinguish each sound. Some sounds may be different from those you are familiar with before, and you must learn to distinguish them. If you feel tired wearing a hearing aid, you can reduce the volume or turn off the hearing aid for a rest. Gradually, you will be able to listen for a long time, and soon, you will be able to wear hearing aids comfortably all day long.

2. Talk to a person

Try another situation, that is, in a quiet room, sitting face-to-face with another person and talking, so that you can see his expression clearly and have a normal conversation with each other. If the hearing aid is adjusted correctly, you will be able to hear and understand the conversation better than before.

3. Listen to the radio or TV

Please turn the radio or TV to the normal volume for people with normal hearing. If you think the radio or TV is too loud or too small, you can adjust the volume knob of the hearing aid. First, practice listening to the news because the announcer speaks clearly. Then practice listening to other programs. If you find it difficult to listen to the radio or TV, you can ask the relevant experts if you need auxiliary hearing equipment.

Precautions

1. At about 30cm behind the ear with hearing aid, knead the glass paper and make a sound. If you can hear clearly, it means that the hearing aid effect is OK.

2. When infants wear hearing aids, they like babbling and are interested in sounds, which shows that they are basically suitable.

3. At about 30cm behind the hearing aid ear, the six tones (a, u, I, m, s, SH) of Lin’s family are made with normal voice (about 40-50db). If they can be clearly identified and repeated, the effect is ideal.
