Adjusting to new sounds
• Sounds might seem loud or different. You may also
notice background noises that you haven’t heard for
a long time. As your brain learns to recognize and
lter out these sounds, they’ll become less apparent
over time.
TIP: Wear the hearing aids as much as possible
to become more quickly accustomed to new
sounds.
• Your voice may seem loud at rst. To help, practice
talking with a friend in a familiar environment before
using the hearing aids for other conversations.
• You might need to experiment with different hear-
ing aid settings as you try the hearing aids in new
environments. Over time, you’ll nd settings that
work for you and won’t need to adjust them as often.
TIP: Be patient! It can take some people up to
several months to fully adjust to their hearing
aids.
