1. Start Slowly –
Begin by using your new hearing aid a few hours a day
while you are alone. If you're not used to wearing a hearing aid, you will
probably notice many sounds you have not heard in a while. And while you
may enjoy the sounds of birds again, other sounds like crackling paper and
the refrigerator running may take some time to get used to. With practice you
should be able to focus on the sounds you want to hear and ignore the rest.
Hearing aids will not restore your hearing, but they absolutely can help.
2. Read Out Loud –
Your own voice will sound strange at first. Try reading out
loud for 15 minutes a day to get used to the sound of your voice.
3. Practice Listening to One Voice – Start in a quiet environment listening to
the radio or your favorite TV show. Then practice listening with one friend or
family member at a time.
4. Listen and Talk in Small Groups – Next try talking with a small group of
people, first in a quiet setting and then in a noisier environment. Remember,
most people have difficulty understanding in loud places with background
noise. So, be patient and keep practicing. Your understanding should
improve with time.
