How do first time users adapt to hearing aids

2020-09-07 Many hearing-impaired people have high expectations for hearing aids. They believe that hearing aids can be restored to normal hearing ability immediately after using them. Is it so magical? The answer is No.


This is a misunderstanding, this kind of awareness will not only affect the hearing-impaired people's adaptation to hearing aids, but also affect the normal use of daily wear. Hearing aid is a kind of hearing aid device. Although it has many good functions, it cannot replace the human ear. After all, it’s just a machine.

Many hearing-impaired people spend a lot of money on hearing aids, but in the end they fail to achieve their expected results. Over time, they will feel deceived. What is a good way to help hearing-impaired people adapt as soon as possible when using hearing aids? Today, Austar hearing aid experts prepared the "treatment enhancement method" for hearing-impaired people.

Week 1 auditory attention period
Wear hearing aids for 1-2 hours a day
Try to stay home as much as possible to re-familiarize and distinguish various sounds, such as the sound of cooking in the kitchen, the sound of using a vacuum cleaner, the sound of talking with family, etc.

Week 2 auditory Identification period
Wear hearing aids for 2-3 hours a day
Try to concentrate as much as possible to listen to the sound you want to hear, while separating the sound you want to hear from the background sound. You can choose to wear a hearing aid and go out to a quiet place, such as morning exercises


Week 3 hearing and speaking adaptation period
Wear hearing aids for 3-4 hours a day
You can choose to walk into more public places, such as markets and shopping malls. A noisy environment can exercise the ability to hear your own voice. In addition, you can talk to many people outdoors, learn to look at other people’s facial expressions and lip movements to distinguish words, so that you can improve your vision and hearing ability.


Week 4 Return to instinct
Wear hearing aids for more than 6 hours a day
It is recommended to wear a hearing aid all day, whether watching TV, listening to music, or going into public places in various complex environments, except for vigorous exercise, sleeping, washing hair, bathing, do not remove the hearing aid.

Hearing impaired people will feel uncomfortable when wearing hearing aids in the early stage. For example, the sound of hearing aids is too noisy, slight ear swelling, and it is not easy to understand other people's speech. These phenomena are all normal. Don't be panic. This is a gradual process. Be patient and take your time.
