The first thing many new users notice is that sounds seem strange. Remember that even the best hearing
aids are not as good as natural hearing, so sounds aren't completely normal, much as your voice doesn't
sound the same on a tape recorder or a telephone as it does in person. Your own voice may sound deeper to
you than normal.
Although background sounds will seem louder than before, you may find that the hearing aid doesn't do one
of the things you hoped that it would: help you understand all the words you've been missing in conversa-
tions. You should be able to understand more words with the hearing device than without. But wearing a
hearing aid won't guarantee that you'll catch every single word. Hearing every word isn't necessary. The goal
is for you to be able to follow conversation easily in various environments.
