Thank you for placing your confidence in
www.clearlyhearing.com
to care for your hearing.
You have made an important decision to begin the process of using hearing aids. We are
excited to be part of your journey towards better hearing. Your new hearing aids are going to
allow you to hear some very pleasant sounds you may have been missing for a long time, like
the pleasant sounds that nature provides, from birds singing to water running and leaves
rustling. They’ll also allow you to hear conversation louder and clearer. There will be
challenges however, your hearing aids will make some sounds louder that you wish they
wouldn’t. Like the sounds of forks and knifes scraping on plates, traffic roaring and all the
extraneous chatter you wish you could continue to ignore. Don’t worry, the sounds you don’t
like will change over time. Before you know it the sounds that at first you find distracting
and bothersome will once again sound normal. It’s important to be patient with yourself as
you adjust to hearing aids. Often hearing loss develops for years before hearing aids are
worn and it can take several weeks to several months for hearing aid users to completely
adjust to new hearing aids.
We recommend that all of our clients download the ‘5 steps to better hearing’ booklet from
