learning to hear well again
Many of life’s important
activities involve learning.
Although not always easy,
learning combines desire,
practice and a belief that
if you keep trying, success
and enjoyment will even-
tually occur.
This is true of your hearing.
When you were young, you learned how to
listen. Your brain learned to focus on specific
sounds and concentrate on voices, even in
the midst of many other noises. As your hear-
ing gradually diminished, so did that ability to
select sounds.
Now, with the help of your
hearing instruments, you’re
about to relearn the selective
hearing process. Just as the
battery is your hearing instru-
ment’s power source, a posi-
tive attitude is your brain’s
”power source” for
learning.
