What I Can Expect from Hearing Aids
A Reminder ...
Hearing aids are only part of the whole process of hearing better again:
- Hearing in quiet should be improved
- Hearing in moderate noise background should be improved
- Hearing in noise will not be as good as hearing in quiet
- Hearing in loud noise should be no worse than without hearing aids
- Soft speech should be audible, conversational speech comfortable; loud speech not comfortable
- No whistling should occur if hearing aids are seated properly
- Earmold should be comfortable
- Own voice should be "acceptable"
- It takes time to fully achieve the benefits of hearing aids
A Reminder ...
Hearing aids are only part of the whole process of hearing better again:
- It takes time for me to realize my full potential
- Some sounds may be strange to me initially, including my voice, footsteps, birds and newspapers.
- Additionally, other things like FM, speech-reading, good listening skills will also benefit me.
- I still may have trouble hearing in some noisy situations.
- I may have to modify my environment for better hearing.
