The keys to adjusting to wearing hearing aids are practice, time and patience. In most cases you didn’t lose your hearing overnight, so you won’t get full benefit overnight. For the first 2 to 3 weeks, you will be hearing new sounds that you may not have heard in a while. These may include sounds you want to hear, as well as those you may not want to hear. It can get easier to understand in noise when you are able to hear better, but also when you follow the tips outlined here. Try to wear your hearing aids as much as possible to help your brain adjust to constant stimulation.

But know that even when you do all that you can and regardless how much you paid for them, hearing aids are sensitive electronic devices that can break down from time to time. Rest assured, HAH will be available to help in those situations.
