Old people don’t feel comfortable wearing hearing aids

How can the elderly adapt to wearing hearing aids as soon as possible? Many hearing-impaired elderly people refuse to wear hearing aids because they are difficult to adapt, resulting in the accelerated process of hearing loss and affecting the quality of life. Let’s share with you some effective ways for the elderly to adapt to wearing hearing aids as soon as possible.

Method 1. Professional matching

Before wearing hearing aids, the elderly need to go to a professional hearing aid fitting center for fitting. “Matching” refers to the selection of hearing aids suitable for their own hearing conditions under the guidance of professional technical personnel. Everyone’s hearing loss varies greatly. Even if the nature or degree of hearing loss is the same, everyone’s living habits and feelings of hearing aid sound are not the same. And the hearing aid itself is also very different, each type, each and so on has its own characteristics. In addition, the old people with mixed deafness and neural deafness have poor resolution of sound. In addition to using high-definition hearing aids with special circuits, they also need some training process. Therefore, professional hearing aid matching can make the elderly adapt to wear hearing aids as soon as possible.

Method 2: gradually increase the volume

Old people just wear hearing aids should not be too loud. Hearing aids can amplify all sounds. Hearing impaired elderly people live in a “quiet environment” for a long time. Suddenly, hearing all kinds of sounds from the outside world will be very uncomfortable, resulting in boredom and even resistance. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid worn by the elderly in the early stage should be appropriately reduced, and gradually increased after being used to it.

Method 3. Time from short to long

There is a certain adaptation period for the elderly to wear hearing aids. There is a difference between the initial hearing aid and the original hearing aid. Therefore, it takes 1-3 months for the elderly to wear the hearing aid. During the adaptation period, the hearing aid should not be worn for a long time, just a few minutes at a time, and then gradually extend the time after the ear is used to it.

Method 4. Environment from quiet to noisy

Because the elderly are in a “quiet environment” for a long time, the noisy environment at the beginning of wearing hearing aids will make the elderly feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly should not rush to the downtown area after wearing hearing aids. They should first listen to some simple sounds, such as birdsong, underwater sound, etc., and then carry out complex listening activities such as watching TV, listening to radio, etc. after the adaptability is enhanced.

Remind the elderly not to rush for success by wearing hearing aids. We should have patience and confidence to adapt to the discomfort caused by wearing hearing aids in the early stage.
