Hearing is a vital part of how you connect with the
world, from laughing at a punch line to sharing
a secret with a loved one . Hearing is also vital to
your overall health . Untreated hearing loss can
contribute to depression, anxiety and dementia .
Congratulations on taking control of your
hearing health!
While no hearing aid can restore normal hearing and
will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions, these tips will help
you obtain the most benefits from your hearing aids:
• If you are new to hearing aids, it may take a few
weeks before you are completely comfortable
with them and can fully enjoy the benefits . Be
patient as you adjust to hearing sounds that you
may not have heard in a long time . If you need
to, start by wearing your hearing aids a few hours
a day and gradually extend the period of time .
Infrequent use of hearing aids does not provide
full benefits, so your ultimate goal is to wear the
hearing aids all day, every day
• You may find that a quiet environment is more
comfortable at first . Gradually introduce new
listening environments

• Whenever possible, directly face the sounds you
are trying to hear and move closer, especially
in noisy environments . When speaking with
someone, you can also use facial cues to help
you understand . If you would like information
on speech (lip)-reading or additional help,
consider finding a support group . A good
place to start is the Hearing Loss Association of
America (HLAA) at hearingloss.org
• Your own voice may initially sound loud, or as
though you are talking "in a barrel . " This is very
common, and most people get used to it over time
• If you are new to hearing aids, you may hear
background noise (e . g ., hum of a fan) that
you may not have heard in a long time . Most
people are able to tune out these noises as they
continue to wear their hearing aids
• When you are in a restaurant, avoid sitting in the
middle of the room or near the kitchen . A booth
to the side or in a corner will be more favorable
• It is not necessary to remove your hearing aids
at security checkpoints (e . g ., airports) . However,
you should remove your hearing aids for CT
and MRI scans or for other electromagnetic
procedures
