Practice makes perfect
It is a good idea to start slowly and wear your hearing
aids for just short intermittent periods of time, for exam-
ple one or two hours, and first try them in situations with
few people and not too much noise. Gradually you can
use them for longer periods of time and in noisier envi-
ronments. It is important that you allow yourself the time
needed to become used to the new sounds and the new
sensation in your ears.
The road to better hearing and a more active
everyday life
Your hearing aids may help you regain the pleasure of
communicating with other people and increase your
quality of life. So, although it may feel like a big challenge
in the beginning, it will be worth the effort.
