Getting the most from your new hearing aids

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
