| Using hearing aids successfully |
| |
| Begin your training program in familiar surroundings in your own home. After you have read the operating instructions carefully
and have familiarized yourself with your instruments, put them on and start conversing with one person. Step-by-step you can add to the complexity of your surroundings,
although very noisy environments are to be avoided initially. |
 |
| |
| On the first day you should not wear your hearing instruments for more than 2-3 hours. Increase this time gradually until after a few weeks you
are at the stage when you can wear your hearing instruments all day without noticing them. Remember to wear your hearing instruments at home too, so you will be able to hear the telephone ringing, the doorbell, etc. |
| |
| Ideally your hearing instruments should become a natural extension of your body, similar to glasses or contact lenses. This should happen naturally
as you get used to your new hearing system. |
| |
| |
| Make allowances for the effects of fatigue |
| |
| Wearing hearing instruments and hearing a greater range of sounds may tire your or make you irritable at first. If this happens, take a break.
You can train yourself to get used to hearing instruments but you can't force yourself. A positive attitude and a desire to better understand what is being said are decisive factors in your success. |
